Relevant Feature Subset Selection from Ensemble of Multiple Feature Extraction Methods for Texture Classification
Abstract
Performance of texture classification for a given set of texture patterns depends on the choice of feature extraction technique. Integration of features from various feature extraction methods not only eliminates risk of method selection but also brings benefits from the participating methods which play complimentary role among themselves to represent underlying texture pattern. However, it comes at the cost of a large feature vector which may contain redundant features. The presence of such redundant features leads to high computation time, memory requirement and may deteriorate the performance of the classifier. In this research workMonirst phase, a pool of texture features is constructed by integrating features from seven well known feature extraction methods. In the second phase, a few popular feature subset selection techniques are investigated to determine a minimal subset of relevant features from this pool of features. In order to check the efficacy of the proposed approach, performance is evaluated on publically available Brodatz dataset, in terms of classification error. Experimental results demonstrate substantial improvement in classification performance over existing feature extraction techniques. Furthermore, ranking and statistical test also strengthen the results.
