A Novel Local Human Visual Perceptual Texture Description with Key Feature Selection for Texture Classification

Figure 10

The confusion matrices of classifying textures in UIUCTex database via applying different texture descriptors with different feature selector. Rows from top to bottom: confusion matrix of using LBP descriptor, Gabor descriptor, SIFT descriptor, Tamura descriptor, and the proposed local Tamura descriptor. Columns from left to right: confusion matrix of using full set of features, PCA-APX feature selection, PFA feature selection, PCA-MSPEM feature selection, and the proposed PCA-ORTH feature selection. The yellow colour represents high classification rate of the certain class of texture, while the blue colour represents low classification rate of the certain class of texture. The more yellow the elements on diagonal line are, the more blue the elements on diagonal line are, and the better the texture descriptor performs.
