Abstract

This work proposes a method to extract features from texture images by applying a Gaussian pyramid multiscale approach to the Bouligand-Minkowski fractal descriptors. The proposal starts from the texture image and computes the stack of multi-resolution images that compose the pyramid, in both directions, of reduction and expansion. In the following, each image in the stack is mapped onto a surface, which is dilated by spheres with variable radii and the dilation volumes are used to compute the Bouligand-Minkowski fractal descriptors for each level. Both the descriptors of each level and combinations with descriptors from the original image are verified in the classification of well-known databases of textural images. The proposed method outperformed other classical and state-of-the-art descriptors with a significant advantage in most cases, including situations where random noise is added to the images.
