Integration of detector responses for texture segmentation

Machine vision algorithms designed to model the human preattentive perception of texture boundaries often define the texture of a region on the basis of a single perceptual property. In addition, humans can segment textures even when the regions are spatially non-homogeneous in the texture properties of the primitive texture elements. This paper proposes a model of texture segmentation, and a texture segmentation algorithm based on the model, which can produce segmentations which agree with human perception.
