Abstract
For better image interpretation and analysis, an algorithm for producing a Multi-Feature Composite moving image (termed "MFC image") inducing visual illusion (i.e., pseudo-rotational and persistent of vision) has been newly developed. The animation-like MFC image is produced by continuously displaying emboss processing-based images (i.e., shade images) according to the eight directions of light sources. In this study, the effectiveness in case of overlaying the different kinds of image texture features (e.g., contrast, entropy, energy, mean, laplacian, variance, etc.) on the shade images has been investigated. Through the quantitative- and qualitative-analysis for MFC images, we have confirmed the proposed algorithm to produce MFC image is useful for simultaneously enhancing image features as well as for maintaining the quality of original image itself.
