We present a method to construct and analyse 3D models of underwater scenes using a
single cost-effective camera on a standard laptop with (a) free or low-cost software,(b) no …

Image texture description and analysis technology are the basis of many practical
applications in pattern recognition. This paper presents a novel and simple, yet powerful …

In this paper, we propose a novel descriptor called spatially weighted order binary pattern
(SWOBP) for color texture classification. The SWOBP descriptor not only encodes color …

In the field of image processing, texture features and color are fundamental visual cue with
complementary roles. They are used in many applications and in a large variety of areas …

In recent years, image databases are growing at exponential rates, making their
management, indexing, and retrieval, very challenging. Typical image retrieval systems rely …

Generalized Mandelbrot set (kM set) is the basis of fractal analysis. This paper presents a
novel method to generate kM set, which generates kM set precisely by constructing its …

A new method based on complex networks is proposed for color–texture analysis. The
proposal consists of modeling the image as a multilayer complex network where each color …

A lot of video content shared over the Internet have some problems, among which are the
authentication and multimedia protection. The chapter provides a detailed overview of the …

To counter face presentation attack in face recognition system, the chromatic facial texture
differences between the real faces and the facial artefacts are fully analyzed, and chromatic …

Texture is one of the most-studied visual attributes for image characterization since the
1960s. However, most hand-crafted descriptors are monochromatic, focusing on grayscale …
