Multiscale Hurst parameters effectively classify and segment textures, offering comparable accuracy to traditional methods with reduced dimensionality. These generalized Hurst features show promise for analyzing complex natural textures and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery.

Area of Science:

  • Image analysis and computer vision
  • Statistical modeling of natural phenomena

Background:

  • Fractional Brownian motion (fBm) uses a single Hurst parameter for scale-invariant textures.
  • Extended self-similar (ESS) processes generalize fBm with multiscale Hurst parameters for non-scale-invariant textures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Evaluate multiscale Hurst parameters for texture classification and segmentation.
  • Compare generalized Hurst features against traditional Hurst and Gabor features.
  • Assess segmentation performance on texture mosaics and real synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery.

Main Methods:

  • Texture classification using generalized Hurst, standard Hurst, and Gabor features.
  • Texture segmentation on mosaic images with and without supplemental contrast/grayscale features.

  • Application of Hurst features for segmenting real SAR imagery.

    • Main Results:

    • Generalized Hurst features achieve comparable classification accuracy to Gabor features at a fifth of the dimensionality.
    • Segmentation accuracy is evaluated for generalized and standard Hurst features on texture mosaics.
    • Hurst features demonstrate effectiveness in segmenting real SAR imagery.

    Conclusions:

    • Multiscale Hurst parameters are effective features for texture classification and segmentation.
    • Generalized Hurst features offer a dimensionality reduction advantage.
    • These parameters show utility in analyzing diverse natural textures and specialized imagery like SAR.
