Fuzzy Color Aura Matrices for Texture Image Segmentation.

Fuzzy gray-level aura matrices have been developed from fuzzy set theory and the aura concept to characterize texture images. They have proven to be powerful descriptors for color texture classification. However, using them for color texture segmentation is difficult because of their high memory and computation requirements.

Reflectance Estimation from Multispectral Linescan Acquisitions under Varying Illumination-Application to Outdoor Weed Identification.

To reduce the amount of herbicides used to eradicate weeds and ensure crop yields, precision spraying can effectively detect and locate weeds in the field thanks to imaging systems. Because weeds are visually similar to crops, color information is not sufficient for effectively detecting them. Multispectral cameras provide radiance images with a high spectral resolution, thus the ability to investigate vegetated surfaces in several narrow spectral bands.

Spatio-spectral binary patterns based on multispectral filter arrays for texture classification.

To discriminate gray-level texture images, spatial texture descriptors can be extracted using the local binary pattern (LBP) operator. This operator has been extended to color images at the expense of increased memory and computation requirements. Some authors propose to compute texture descriptors directly from raw images provided through a Bayer color filter array, which both avoids the demosaicking step and reduces the descriptor size.
