Texture segmentation method based on incomplete tree structured wavelet transform and fuzzy Kohonen clustering network

A new texture segmentation method based on incomplete tree structured wavelet transform and fuzzy Kohonen clustering network (FKCN) is proposed in this paper. It consists of three main steps: 1) feature extraction using incomplete tree structured wavelet transform; 2) feature coarse classification using fuzzy Kohonen clustering network which involves initializing the weight vector of the network according to the density function of input patterns and training the network using the reduced set of feature vectors to get the coarse segmentation result; 3) the refinement of the coarse segmentation result. Texture segmentation experiments give the effectiveness of this method.
