The classification algorithm must be able to overcome distortions, such as scale, aspect and rotation changes in the input texture. In this paper, a new fractal model for texture classification is presented. The model is based on fractional Brownian motion (FBM). It is also shown that this model is invariant to changes in incident light; empirical results are also given. The isotropic nature of Brownian motion is particularly useful for outdoor applications, where the viewing direction may change. Classification results of this model are presented; comparisons with other texture measurement models indicate that the incremental FBM (IFBM) model has better performance for the samples tested.}, number={1}, journal={IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS}, author={Potlapalli, H and Luo, RC}, year={1998}, month={Feb}, pages={142–150} } @article{jasper_potlapalli_1995, title={IMAGE-ANALYSIS OF MISPICKS IN WOVEN FABRIC}, volume={65}, ISSN={["0040-5175"]}, DOI={10.1177/004051759506501109}, abstractNote={ Images of a woven fabric with missing picks are digitized, and three different image analysis techniques are compared: the Sobel edge operator, the fast Fourier transform, and the discrete wavelet transform. The wavelet transform, used as a multi-resolution spectral filter, is able to give both spectral and frequency information about a fabric. For the samples tested, the wavelet transform can characterize defects due to missing picks and ends faster and more accurately than the other methods. }, number={11}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={JASPER, WJ and POTLAPALLI, H}, year={1995}, month={Nov}, pages={683–692} }
