Abstract

The two principal morphological texture descriptors, granulometry and morphological covariance, rely on the common principle of successive filtering of an image using a variety of structuring elements, from which feature vectors are subsequently computed. A crucial stage of their computation is the numerical characterization or parameterization of each of the filtered images. In this regard, the zero-th statistical moment is the traditional measure, while the use of higher order moments has also been reported. In this paper, we present the results of a comparative study, concentrating on the potential of various statistical moments for the task of parameterization, while additionally investigating the contribution of Fourier transform moments. The experiments are conducted with focus on texture description effectiveness and on noise robustness, using publicly available texture collections: Outex, CUReT and KTH-TIPS2b, where it is shown that the combination of moments leads to superior classification performance even at high noise levels.
