MATLAB Implementation of Gabor Wavelets for Texture Extraction

Resource Overview

Gabor Wavelets for texture extraction with dynamically adjustable orientation and scale parameters in the program implementation

Detailed Documentation

Gabor wavelets represent a widely-used signal processing technique particularly effective for texture extraction. In the MATLAB implementation, key parameters such as orientation and scale can be dynamically adjusted through program variables to accommodate various texture characteristics. The core algorithm involves generating Gabor filters in the frequency domain using Gaussian-modulated sinusoidal functions, where the orientation parameter controls the filter's angular direction and the scale parameter determines the spatial frequency bandwidth. Through proper parameter tuning, Gabor wavelets can accurately capture texture details and structural patterns by convolving the filter bank with input images. This implementation typically utilizes MATLAB's image processing toolbox functions for efficient 2D convolution and parameter optimization, significantly enhancing texture analysis performance for pattern recognition applications.
