Abstract

An efficient bark recognition method based on a novel wide-sense Markov spiral model textural representation is presented. Unlike the alternative bark recognition methods based on various gray-scale discriminative textural descriptions, we benefit from fully descriptive color, rotationally invariant bark texture representation. The proposed method significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art bark recognition approaches in terms of the classification accuracy.
