Texture is a very important concept for many image understanding and pattern classification applications. The analysis of texture can be performed by the multi-channel filtering theory, a classical theory for texture perception based on the early stages of human visual system. This approach decomposes an image into a set of responses given by a bank of Gabor filters, that nearly covers in an uniformly manner the spatial-frequency domain. This approach relies on the image dimensions, and the number of kernels in a bank of Gabor filters varies according to the number of combinations between frequencies and orientations. In many practical applications, this large number of combinations makes quickly unfeasible the computation of the whole bank of filters. To ease this problem, in this paper we propose a multi-channel filtering where the Gabor bank for texture discrimination is computed in parallel in a graphics processing unit (GPU). Experimental results show an improvement of 8.78 times for feature extraction when compared against the corresponding CPU-based approach. |
