Abstract

This project aims to study the application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to analyze texture images using input data of the network directly from the image pixels. The developments to be made are part of the continuing line of research on the use of ANNs for the characterization of textures, which have already obtained financial support from CNPq (process number 476849/2008-0), from Pro-reitoria de Pesquisa da UNESP and from FAPESP (scientific initiation scholarship, process number 2010/15315-9). As the student with the previous scholarship is conducting studies in the frequency domain, the current project focuses on the spatial domain.(AU)
