Stone Texture Classification and Discrimination by Edge Direction Movement

Abstract

ABSTRACT:Texture discrimination is the rich field in the area pattern recognition and pattern analysis. The texture classification is the one of the major field in texture discrimination. In this paper derive an approach for texture group classification based on the direction movement. The edge movements are identified in each 3×3 window of the texture image. Based on the edge direction movements the texture images are categorized. Two texture groups used in this paper. Texture group 1 consists of Bark, Sand, Raffia and Pigskin images and Straw, Bsand, Wgrain and Grass image are treated as texture group2. In this paper, Horizontal, Vertical direction and also Right, Left Diagonal Edge direction movements are identified.
