Abstract
Moment-based features have been employed for solving various problems in pattern recognition and image processing. In this paper, we choose Charlier and Meixner moments separately, to solve texture segmentation, classification, and de-noising of images corrupted with Gaussian noise. In order to solve the texture classification problem, we propose to use lower-order Charlier and Meixner moments of 12 Haralick’s texture features and a two-class support vector machine. But, for texture segmentation problem, we use these moment-based texture energy features suggested for geometric moments by Mihran Tuceryan. Further, these energy features are used in K-means, Fuzzy K-means, and Kohonen’s neural network for solving texture segmentation problem, whereas for image de-noising problem, we use non-local mean (NLM) filter with Charlier and Meixner moments-based similarity values instead of pixel-based similarity values used in NLM for filter weights calculation. The simulation results show that the proposed applications worked well for two-class texture segmentation, classification of texture images and de-noising of images corrupted with a small amount of noise.
