Texture classification for visual data using transfer learning.

Abstract

The texture is the most fundamental aspect of a picture that contributes to its recognition. Computer vision challenges such as picture identification and segmentation are built on the foundation of texture analysis. Various images of satellite, forestry, medical etc. have been identifiable because of textures. This work aims to offer texture classification models that will outperform previously presented methods. In this work, transfer learning was applied to attain this goal. MobileNetV3 and InceptionV3 are the two pre-trained models employed. Brodatz, Kylberg, and Outex texture datasets were used to evaluate the models. The models achieved excellent results and achieved the objective in most cases. Classification accuracy obtained for the Kylberg dataset were 100% and 99.89%. For the Brodatz dataset, the classification accuracy obtained was 99.83% and 99.94%. For the Outex datasets, the classification accuracy obtained was 99.48% and 99.48%. The model outputs the corresponding label of the texture of the image.
