Study On Algorithms Of Color Texture Segmentation Based On Quaternion-Gabor Filter

Human eyes are more sensitive to colors than intensities and there exists more information in color images which can bring richer perception. For a long period, most researches in vision fields have focused on gray-level images. In recent years, the increasing performance of computer hardware and image capturing equipments and their decreased cost make color image processing possible. Furthermore, with the rapid development of multimedia techniques, more and more color images need to be processed (such as print images), and color image processing, especially color image segmentation, becomes an important topic in image processing area gradually. As color image devices are becoming more and more popular nowadays, it is really stringent to accelerate color image processing techniques. From two aspects of theoretical study and practical application, this paper pays more attention on several key issues in color image processing, i.e. color image feature extraction and color image segmentation. Image Segmentation is a process in which the image is segmented into different homogeneous regions. In...
