A New Approach to Rotation Invariant Texture Analysis Based on Radon Transform

摘要

In this paper, we propose a new approach to rotation invariant texture analysis. This method uses the Radon transform with some considerations in direction estimation of textural images. Furthermore, it utilizes the information obtained from the number of peaks in the variance array of the Radon transform as a realty feature. The textural features are then generated after rotation of texture along principle direction. Also, to eliminating the introduced error due to rotation of texture, a simple technique is presented. Experimental results on a set of images from the Bro-datz album show a good performance achieved by the proposed method in comparison with some recent texture analysis methods.
