Name

minmaxTexture - Min-Max filters for texture measurement

Syntax

minmaxTexture [-t <title>] <inimage> <outimage> <texdim_1> .. <texdim_n>

Description

minmaxTexture uses multi-scale MIN-MAX operators in order to characterize the local texure on different geometric scales (texdim_1,...., texdim_n). minmaxTexture creates an image where the number of bands equals the number of window sizes (texdim_1,..., texdim_n) used. These bands can be used to find a signature for the input image.

In band no. 1, we identify all structures less than texdim1 using window (texdim_1 x texdim_1). In the same way, using window (texdim_n x texdim_n), all structures less than texdim_n have been identified from the input image and shown in band no. n.

texdim_n (where n=3,5,..) are window sizes used to characterize the local texture on different geometric scales texdim_1 < texdim_2 <...< texdim_n.

Options

-t title
Specify a title for the output image

Restrictions

inimage must have bands with pixel type unsigned byte.
