TL;DR: The model was found to be in good correlation with known psychophysical characteristics as texton based texture segregation and micropattern density sensitivity, however, this simple model fails to predict human performance in discrimination tasks based on differences in the density of “terminators”.

Abstract: The present paper presents a model for texture discrimination based on Gabor functions. In this model the Gabor power spectrum of the micropatterns corresponding to different textures is calculated. A function that measures the difference between the spectrum of two micropatterns is introduced and its values are correlated with human performance in preattentive detection tasks. In addition, a two stage algorithm for texture segregation is presented. In the first stage the input image is transformed via Gabor filters into a representation image that allows discrimination between features by means of intensity differences. In the second stage the borders between areas of different textures are found using a Laplacian of Gaussian operator. This algorithm is sensitive to energy differences, rotation and spatial frequency and is insensitive to local translation. The model was tested by means of several simulations and was found to be in good correlation with known psychophysical characteristics as texton based texture segregation and micropattern density sensitivity. However, this simple model fails to predict human performance in discrimination tasks based on differences in the density of "terminators". In this case human performance is better than expected.

Robust filters for low-level vision
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend the classical results on robust smoothing based on Bayesian estimation with prior Markov random field models to the case of complex-valued pass-band (quadrature) filters.

TL;DR: An end-to-end shell species detection pipeline comprising feature extraction and recognition components is presented and it is shown that the best model - SVM trained on pretrained VGG16 features achieved 96% accuracy and macro-average F1, outperforming existing benchmarks by more than 13 % in both metrics.

TL;DR: A local energy model, which is relative to Human Vision System (HVS), is proposed to detect robust and useful edges and is given non-classic receptive field (Non-CRF) methods to detect interested edges.

TL;DR: The space/frequency representation should be a key aid in untangling the complex interaction of phenomena in images, allowing automatic understanding of real-world scenes, and develops a set of simple, natural theories describing phenomena such as textuxe, shape, aliasing and lens parameters.

TL;DR: The rapid rate at which the field of digital picture processing has grown in the past five years had necessitated extensive revisions and the introduction of topics not found in the original edition.

Textons, the elements of texture perception, and their interactions
TL;DR: Research with texture pairs having identical second-order statistics has revealed that the pre-attentive texture discrimination system cannot globally process third- and higher- order statistics, and that discrimination is the result of a few local conspicuous features, called textons.

Mathematical description of the responses of simple cortical cells.
TL;DR: It is argued that the visual cortex representation corresponds closely to the Gabor scheme owing to its advantages in treating the subsequent problem of pattern recognition.

Two-dimensional spectral analysis of cortical receptive field profiles.
TL;DR: It emerges that only a very special analytic class of receptive fields possess independent tuning functions for spatial frequency and orientation; namely, those profiles whose two-dimensional Fourier Transforms are expressible as the separable product of a radial function and an angular function.

TL;DR: In this article, an image is a brightness function f(x,y) of two space variables x and y, each of which is characterized by a gray level, and the gray levels are assumed to represent the radiant energy of some electromagnetic spectral range.
