Abstract

Texture classification plays an important role in different domains of healthcare, agriculture, and industry. In this contribution, we propose an interpretable and efficient texture classification framework that considers colour or channel information and does not require much data to produce accurate results. Therefore, such a classifier can be suitable for medical applications and resource-limited hardware. We base our work on a Generalized Matrix Learning Vector Quantization (GMLVQ) and introduce a special matrix format for multi-channel images. We compare the performance of different model designs on two data sets emphasising the role of the dissimilarity measure used. We demonstrate that our extension of parametrized angle dissimilarity measure leads to better model generalization and improved robustness against varying lighting conditions than its Euclidean counterpart.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Our dissimilarity measures are not required to satisfy the triangle inequality and hence are not necessarily proper metrics. We still refer to these pseudo-metrics as “distances” and “dissimilarities” throughout this paper for improved readability.
