Three-dimensional (3-D) texture coordinates mean the position information of torture segments that are mapped into polygons in a 3-D mesh model. In order to compress texture coordinates, previous works reused the same linear predictor that had already been employed to code geometry data. However, the previous approaches could not carry out linear prediction efficiently since texture coordinates were discontinuous along a coding order. Especially, discontinuities of texture coordinates became more serious in the 3-D mesh model including a non-atlas texture. In this paper, we propose a new scheme to code 3-D texture coordinates using as a texture image rearrangement. The proposed coding scheme first extracts texture segments from a texture. Then, we rearrange the texture segments consecutively along the coding order, and apply a linear prediction to compress texture coordinates. Since the proposed scheme minimizes discontinuities of texture coordinates, we can improve coding efficiency of texture coordinates. Experiment results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the MPEG-4 3DMC standard in terms of coding efficiency.

The spectral information based image analysis, visual interpretation and automatic classification have been widely carried out so far for remote sensing data processing. Yet recently, many researchers have tried to extract the spatial information which cannot be expressed directly in the image itself. Using the texture and wavelet scheme, we made a wavelet-based texture fusion image which includes the advantages of each scheme. Moreover, using these schemes, we carried out image classification for the urban spatial analysis and the geological structure analysis around the caldera area. These two case studies showed that image classification accuracy of texture image and wavelet-based texture fusion image is better than that of using only raw image. In case of the urban area using high resolution image, as both texture and wavelet based texture fusion image are added to the original image, the classification accuracy is the highest. Because detailed spatial information is applied to the urban area where detail pixel variation is very significant. In case of the geological structure analysis using middle and low resolution image, the images added by only texture image showed the highest classification accuracy. It is interpreted to be necessary to simplify the information such as elevation variation, thermal distribution, on the occasion of analyzing the relatively larger geological structure like a caldera. Therefore, in the image analysis using spatial information, each spatial information analysis method should be carefully selected by considering the characteristics of the satellite images and the purpose of study.

In this paper, a color image retrieval algorithm is proposed based on color histogram and color texture. The representative color vectors of a color image are made from k-means clustering of its color histogram, and color texture is generated by centering around the color of pixels with its color vector. Thus the color texture means texture properties emphasized by its color histogram, and it is analyzed by Gaussian Markov Random Field (GMRF) model. The proposed algorithm can work efficiently because it does not require any low level image processing such as segmentation or edge detection, so it outperforms the traditional algorithms which use color histogram only or texture properties come from image intensity.

This paper presents face recognition based on the fusion of visible image and thermal infrared (IR) texture estimated from the face image in the visible spectrum. The proposed face recognition scheme uses a multi- layer neural network to estimate thermal texture from visible imagery. In the training process, a set of visible and thermal IR image pairs are used to determine the parameters of the neural network to learn a complex mapping from a visible image to its thermal texture in the low-dimensional feature space. The trained neural network estimates the principal components of the thermal texture corresponding to the input visible image. Extensive experiments on face recognition were performed using two popular face recognition algorithms, Eigenfaces and Fisherfaces for NIST/Equinox database for benchmarking. The fusion of visible image and thermal IR texture demonstrated improved face recognition accuracies over conventional face recognition in terms of receiver operating characteristics (ROC) as well as first matching performances.

This paper compares two different approaches based on wavelet and Gabor decomposition towards representing the texture of an arbitrary region. The Gabor-domain mean and standard deviation combination is considered to be best in representing the texture of rectangular regions. However, texture representation of arbitrary regions would enable generalized object-based image retrieval and other applications in the future. In this study, we have found that the wavelet features perform better than the Gabor features in representing the texture of arbitrary regions. Particularly, the wavelet-domain standard deviation and entropy combination results in the best retrieval accuracy. Based on our experiment with texture image sets, we present and compare tile retrieval accuracy of multiple wavelet and Gabor feature combinations.

The structural texture is defined as a form which a texel is regularly repeated in the texture. Structural texture analysis/recognition has various industrial applications, such as automatic inspection of textiles, automatic testing of metal surfaces, and automatic analysis of micro images. In this paper, we propose a Convolution Neural Network (CNN) based system for structural texture analysis. The proposed method learns texles, which are components of textures to be classified. Then, this trained CNN recognizes a structural texture using a partial image obtained from input texture. The experiment shows the superiority of the proposed system.

As remote sensing imagery with high spatial resolution (e.g. pixel resolution of 1m or less) is used widely in the specific application domains, the requirements of advanced methods for this imagery are increasing. Among many applicable methods, the texture image analysis, which was characterized by the spatial distribution of the gray levels in a neighborhood, can be regarded as one useful method. In the texture image, we compared and analyzed different results according to various directions, kernel sizes, and parameter types for the GLCM algorithm. Then, we studied spatial feature characteristics within each result image. In addition, a template matching program which can search spatial patterns using template images selected from original and texture images was also embodied and applied. Probabilities were examined on the basis of the results. These results would anticipate effective applications for detecting and analyzing specific shaped geological or other complex features using high spatial resolution imagery.

독립 요소 분석 (Independent Component Analysis: ICA)는 텍스처를 의미 있는 특징으로 변환하는 강인한 영상 필터를 생성하기 위한 확률적 방법이다. ICA는 고차통계적 특성을 사용하여 ICA 필터와 독립 요소를 동시에 학습한다. 제안한 분류 방법은 fast ICA 알고리즘을 사용하여 KOMPSAT 영상으로부터 ICA 필터를 생성한 다음, 필터에 의해 투영된 텍스처들의 특징들을 독립 평면상에서 무감독 방법으로 분류한다. KOMPSAT 영상은 텍스처 성분이 뚜렷하지 않는 영역이 존재하기 때문에 본 논문에서는 투영된 특징 값들과 윈도우 내의 정규화된 평균 화소값으로 특징 벡터를 재구성하였다. 분류 방법으로는 K-means 클러스터링을 적용하였다. 6.6m 해상도를 가진 KOMPSAT 흑백 영상에 대해 제안한 방법은 우수한 분류 성능을 보인다.
