Texture Classification with Feature Analysis : A Wavelet Based Approach

Texture has been widely used in human life since it provides useful information that appeared on the surface of every object. The most common use of texture is to help everyone to identify different objects in daily life. Texture is also often involved in many important real life applications such as biomedical image processing, remote sensing, wood species recognition, etc. Such situation has encouraged extensive researches to be conducted on texture, such as texture analysis and texture classification under the computer vision field. This paper has conducted a research study on texture classification, by using Discrete Wavelet Transform and Local Binary Pattern with Naïve Bayes as the main feature extraction and classification method respectively. The objective of this work is to discover the main factors that will affect the performance of discrete wavelet transform and LBP during a texture classification process. The experimental results show that the developed texture classification system is able to achieve the highest classification rate at 100 %; such results have proved that the developed texture classification system by using Discrete Wavelet Transform and LBP is potential and worth to be implemented in real life applications.
