Abstract
In this paper we present a multi-scale morphological method for use in texture classification. A connected operator similar to the morphological hat-transform is defined, and two scale-space representations are built. The most important features are extracted from the scale spaces by unsupervised cluster analysis, and the resulting pattern vectors provide the input of a decision tree classifier. We obtain 93.5 % correct classification for the Brodatz texture database.
