Abstract

A new texture feature extraction method utilizing dual tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) is introduced. The complex wavelet. transform is a recently developed tool that uses a dual tree of wavelet filters to find the real and imaginary parts of complex wavelet, coefficients (1). Approxin1ate shift. invariance, good directional selectivity, computational efficiency properties of DT-CWT make it a good candidate for representing the texture features. In this paper, we propose a method for efficiently using the properties of DT-CWT in finding the directional and spatial/frequency characteristics of the patterns and classifying different texture patterns in terms of these characteristics. Experimental results show that the proposed feature extraction and classi- fication method is efficient, in terms of computational speed and retrieval accuracy.
