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.

Sensitivity to contrast histogram differences in synthetic wavelet-textures.
TL;DR: The results support the idea that the visual system is relatively sensitive to the kurtosis, or 4th moment, of the wavelet histogram of textures, and argue that higher than 4th-order moments will, in practice, become increasingly difficult to represent because the lack of a perfect match between the elements and the receptive fields effectively blurs the response histogram, thereby attenuating higher moments.

Circular-Mellin features for texture segmentation
TL;DR: In this paper, insight is provided into the development of a new set of distortion-invariant texture operators that are invariant to both scale and orientation of the target and represent the spectral decomposition of the image scene in the polar-log coordinate system.

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.
