Wavelet-based texture retrieval using generalized Gaussian densityand Kullback-Leibler distance

We present a statistical view of the texture retrieval problem by combining the two related tasks, namely feature extraction (FE) and similarity measurement (SM), into a joint modeling and classification scheme. We show that using a consistent estimator of texture model parameters for the FE step followed by computing the Kullback-Leibler distance (KLD) between estimated models for the SM step is asymptotically optimal in term of retrieval error probability. The statistical scheme leads to a new wavelet-based texture retrieval method that is based on the accurate modeling of the marginal distribution of wavelet coefficients using generalized Gaussian density (GGD) and on the existence a closed form for the KLD between GGDs. The proposed method provides greater accuracy and flexibility in capturing texture information, while its simplified form has a close resemblance with the existing methods which uses energy distribution in the frequency domain to identify textures. Experimental results on a database of 640 texture images indicate that the new method significantly improves retrieval rates, e.g., from 65% to 77%, compared with traditional approaches, while it retains comparable levels of computational complexity.     

Wavelet-based hybrid natural image modeling using generalized Gaussian and α-stable distributions

Natural image is characterized by its highly kurtotic and heavy-tailed distribution in wavelet domain. These typical non-Gaussian statistics are commonly described by generalized Gaussian density (GGD) or α-stable distribution. However, each of the two models has its own deficiency to capture the variety and complexity of real world scenes. Considering the statistical properties of GGD and α-stable distributions respectively, in this paper we propose a hybrid statistical model of natural image’s wavelet coefficients which is better in describing the leptokurtosis and heavy tails simultaneously. Based on a clever fusion of GGD and α-stable functions, we establish the optimal parametric hybrid model, and a close-formed Kullback–Leibler divergence of the hybrid model is derived for evaluating model accuracy. Experiment results and comparative studies demonstrate that the proposed hybrid model is closer to the true distribution of natural image’s wavelet coefficients than the single modeling using GGD or α-stable, while is beneficial for applications such as image comparison.     

Bayesian learning of finite generalized Gaussian mixture models on images

This paper presents a fully Bayesian approach to analyze finite generalized Gaussian mixture models which incorporate several standard mixtures, widely used in signal and image processing applications, such as Laplace and Gaussian. Our work is motivated by the fact that the generalized Gaussian distribution (GGD) can be applied on a wide range of data due to its shape flexibility which justifies its usefulness to model the statistical behavior of multimedia signals [1]. We present a method to evaluate the posterior distribution and Bayes estimators using a Gibbs sampling algorithm. For the selection of number of components in the mixture, we use the integrated likelihood and Bayesian information criteria. We validate the proposed method by applying it to: synthetic data, real datasets, texture classification and retrieval, and image segmentation; while comparing it to different other approaches.     

基于Q-shift双树复数小波系数的纹理图像检索

Vonn distribution of relative phase for statistical image modeling in complex wavelet domain

With the assumptions of Gaussian as well as Gaussian scale mixture models for images in wavelet domain, marginal and joint distributions for phases of complex wavelet coefficients are studied in detail. From these hypotheses, we then derive a relative phase probability density function, which is called Vonn distribution, in complex wavelet domain. The maximum-likelihood method is proposed to estimate two Vonn distribution parameters. We demonstrate that the Vonn distribution fits well with behaviors of relative phases from various real images including texture images as well as standard images. The Vonn distribution is compared with other standard circular distributions including von Mises and wrapped Cauchy. The simulation results, in which images are decomposed by various complex wavelet transforms, show that the Vonn distribution is more accurate than other conventional distributions. Moreover, the Vonn model is applied to texture image retrieval application and improves retrieval accuracy.     

Statistical Wavelet Subband Characterization Based on Generalized Gamma Density and Its Application in Texture Retrieval

The modeling of image data by a general parametric family of statistical distributions plays an important role in many applications. In this paper, we propose to adopt the three-parameter generalized Gamma density $({rm G}Gamma{rm D})$ for modeling wavelet detail subband histograms and for texture image retrieval. The advantage of ${rm G}Gamma{rm D}$ over the existing generalized Gaussian density (GGD) is that it provides more flexibility to control the shape of model which is critical for practical histogram-based applications. To measure the discrepancy between ${rm G}Gamma{rm Ds}$, we use the symmetrized Kullback-Leibler distance (SKLD) and derive a closed form for the SKLD between ${rm G}Gamma{rm Ds}$. Such a distance can be computed directly and effectively via the model parameters, making our proposed scheme particularly suitable for image retrieval systems with large image database. Experimental results on the well-known databases reveal the superior performance of our proposed method compared with the current existing approaches.
