Texture is an important cue in region-based segmentation of images.
We provide an insight into the development of a new set of distortion-invariant
texture operators. These “circular-Mellin” operators are invariant
to both scale and orientation of the target and represent the spectral
decomposition of the image scene in the polar-log coordinate system.
Coupled with the unique shift invariance property of the correlator
architecture, we show that these circular-Mellin operators can be
used for rotation-and scale-invariant feature extraction. We note
that while these feature extractors have a functional form that is
similar to the Gabor operators, they have distortion-invariant characteristics
unlike the Gabor functions that make them more suitable for texture
segmentation. A detailed analytical description of these operators
and segmentation results to highlight their salient properties are
presented
