“…Gabor filters have been employed in such diverse applications as texture segmentation, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] image retrieval, 13 document analysis, 14,15 image coding, 16,17 retina identification, 18 character recognition, 19 target detection, 20,21 fractal dimension measurement, 22 edge detection, 23 line characterization, 24 medical image compression, 25 and image representation. 26 Despite such wide ranging applications, a variety of issues still remain when considering the problem of designing multiple Gabor filters for segmenting multi-textured images.…”
