Modal features for image texture classification

Feature extraction is a key step in image processing for pattern recognition and machine learning processes. Its purpose lies in reducing the dimensionality of the input data through the computing of features which accurately describe the original information. In this article, a new feature extraction method based on Discrete Modal Decomposition (DMD) is introduced, to extend the group of space and frequency based features. These new features are called modal features. Initially aiming to decompose a signal into a modal basis built from a vibration mechanics problem, the DMD projection is applied to images in order to extract modal features with two approaches. The first one, called full scale DMD, consists in exploiting directly the decomposition resulting coordinates as features. The second one, called filtering DMD, consists in using the DMD modes as filters to obtain features through a local transformation process. Experiments are performed on image texture classification tasks including several widely used data bases, compared to several classic feature extraction methods. We show that the DMD approach achieves good classification performances, comparable to the state of the art techniques, with a lower extraction time.
