Dynamic Texture Recognition

Payam Saisan, Gianfranco Doretto, Ying Nian Wu, Stefano Soatto

Abstract: Dynamic textures are sequences of images that exhibit some form of temporal stationarity, such as waves, steam, and foliage. We pose the problem of recognizing and classifying dynamic textures in the space of dynamical systems where each dynamic texture is uniquely represented. Since the space is non-linear, a distance between models must be defined We examine three different distances in the space of autoregressive models and assess their power.
