Entropy-based texture analysis in the spatial frequency domain

Abstract:
An approach which uses regional entropy measures in the spatial frequency domain for texture discrimination is presented. The measures provide texture discriminating information independent of that contained in the usual summed energy within based frequency domain features. Performance of the entropy features as measured by a between-to-within-class scatter criterion is comparable to that of traditional frequency domain features and gray level co-occurrence contrast features. A method of frequency scaling is introduced to enable the comparison of texture samples of different subimage size. The resulting regional entropy measures are subimage size-invariant subject to certain constraints which arise from properties of the discrete Fourier transform.

Linear Approximation in Frequency Domain
In contrast, nonlinear systems do not inherently possess these properties. However, for small deviations around an operating point, a nonlinear system can often be approximated as linear.
