Robust colour texture features based on ranklets and discrete Fourier transform

In this paper we present a set of multiscale, multidirectional, rotation-invariant features for colour texture characterization. The proposed model is based on the ranklet transform, a technique relying on the calculation of the relative rank of the intensity level of neighbouring pixels. Colour and texture are merged into a compact descriptor by computing the ranklet transform of each colour channel separately and of couples of colour channels jointly. Robustness against rotation is based on the use of circularly symmetric neighbourhoods together with the discrete Fourier transform. Experimental results demonstrate that the approach shows good robustness and accuracy. PACS numbers: 07.05.Pj, 42.30.Sy
