Abstract

A wide variety of texture feature extraction methods have been proposed for texture based image classification and segmentation. These methods are typically evaluated over windows of the same size, the latter being usually chosen for each particular method on an experimental basis. This paper shows that pixel-based texture classification can be significantly improved by evaluating a given texture method over multiple windows of different size and then by integrating the results through a classical Bayesian scheme. The proposed technique has been applied to well-known families of texture methods that are frequently utilized for feature extraction from textured images. Experiments show that the integration of multisized windows yields lower classification errors than when optimal single-sized windows are considered.
