Abstract
Texture is a visual attribute largely used in many problems of image analysis. Many methods that use learning techniques have been proposed for texture discrimination, achieving improved performance over previous handcrafted methods. In this paper, we present a new approach that combines a learning technique and the complex network (CN) theory for texture analysis. This method takes advantage of the representation capacity of CN to model a texture image as a directed network and then uses the topological information of vertices to train a randomized neural network. This neural network has a single hidden layer and uses a fast learning algorithm to learn local CN patterns for texture characterization. Thus, we use the weights of the trained neural network to compose a feature vector. These feature vectors are evaluated in a classification experiment in four widely used image databases. Experimental results show a high classification performance of the proposed method compared to other methods, indicating that our approach can be used in many image analysis problems.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes high quality articles in areas of fundamental research in intelligent pattern analysis and applications in computer science and engineering. It aims to provide a forum for original research which describes novel pattern analysis techniques and industrial applications of the current technology. In addition, the journal will also publish articles on pattern analysis applications in medical imaging. The journal solicits articles that detail new technology and methods for pattern recognition and analysis in applied domains including, but not limited to, computer vision and image processing, speech analysis, robotics, multimedia, document analysis, character recognition, knowledge engineering for pattern recognition, fractal analysis, and intelligent control. The journal publishes articles on the use of advanced pattern recognition and analysis methods including statistical techniques, neural networks, genetic algorithms, fuzzy pattern recognition, machine learning, and hardware implementations which are either relevant to the development of pattern analysis as a research area or detail novel pattern analysis applications. Papers proposing new classifier systems or their development, pattern analysis systems for real-time applications, fuzzy and temporal pattern recognition and uncertainty management in applied pattern recognition are particularly solicited.
