Analysis and Evaluation of Visual Identification of Texture Using Image Processing Methods

抄録

Texture often affects visual impression more than equal to the shape or the color. Therefore, we have been interested in the effect of the texture and have been investigating. We have studied a relationship between the visual impressions of black fabrics and their image features from the viewpoint of Kansei engineering, and the results showed that visual impressions of fabrics often respond to not only surface reflectivity or mechanical characteristics but also the complex micro-components and global structures of the image features of textures. In order to evolve these researches to wide use, we have been studying precisely what about of an arbitrary texture influences human visual impressions and sensibility. In this paper, texture was altered and transformed by using the parameter estimation method of the texture based on Mathematical Morphology as a new step, and evaluated the relation between the parameter and visual impressions.
