In this paper, we propose a new approach for describing image patterns. We integrate the concepts of multiscale image analysis, aura matrix(Gibbs random fields and cooccurrences related statistical model of texture analysis)to define image features, and to obtain the features having robustness with illumination variations and shading effects, we analyse images based on the Topographic Structure described by the Surface-Shape Operator, which describe gray-level image patterns in terms of 3D shapes instead of intensity values. Then, we illustrate usefulness of the proposed features with texture classifications. Results show that the proposed features extracted from multiscale images work much better than those from a single scale image, and confirm that the proposed features have robustness with illumination and shading variations. By comparisons with the MRSAR(Multiresolution Simultaneous Autoregressive) features using Mahalanobis distance and Euclidean distance, the proposed multiscale features give better performances for classifying the entire Brodatz textures:112 categories, 2016 samples having various brightness in each category.
