Abstract

This paper presents a method for indexing and retrieval of multimedia data through texture segmentation, using the Wold decomposition. The texture field is assumed to be a realisation of a regular homogeneous random field. On the basis of a 2-D Wold-like decomposition, the field is represented as the sum of a purely indeterministic component, a harmonic component and a countable number of evanescent fields. A new rigorous distance measure between textures is derived, using Wold parameters. Adopting the MRF framework, we construct a segmentation procedure using the Wold parameters.
