Texture classification using fuzzy uncertainty texture spectrum

Abstract A new method using fuzzy uncertainty, which measures the uncertainty of the uniform surface in an image, is proposed for texture analysis. A grey-scale image can be transformed into a fuzzy image by the uncertainty definition. The distribution of the membership in a measured fuzzy image, denoted by the fuzzy uncertainty texture spectrum (FUTS), is used as the texture feature for texture analysis. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method. supervised texture classification and rotated texture classification are applied. Experimental results reveal high-accuracy classification rates and show that the proposed method is a good tool for texture analysis.
