Abstract

This project aims to propose an analysis of heterogeneous patterns, develop methods for this new concept and apply them to real problems of pattern recognition. The concept is inspired by the chemistry with the definitions of mixtures. Some mixtures have homogeneous appearance when viewed with the naked eye, however, to observe them at the nanoscale is possible to understand the heterogeneity of its components, for example colloids such as milk, blood and gelatin. In this work, the same concept is applied in pattern recognition. In certain types of images it is possible to see heterogeneous patterns, that not always, can be viewed on a standard scale. Current methods of texture analysis do not adequately describe such heterogeneous patterns. The approach commonly used by researchers analyzes the image information in a global way, taking all its features in an integrated manner. The multi-scale approach, widespread in the literature, analyzes the patterns at different scales, but still preserving the homogeneous analysis, that is, considering the characteristics in a global manner. Therefore, it is necessary to develop methods to identify the different patterns observed at different scales, where it is perceived heterogeneity, thus defining the concept of heterogeneous pattern related to images.
