In this paper, a new approach to wavelet transform-based texture classification using feature weighting is presented. The Daubechies orthogonal wavelets are selected and the standard pyramid-structured wavelet transform is employed. This approach extracts the l1 -norm for each frequency channel of the wavelet transform output as the features for texture classification, and weights these features according to their own degree of dispersion. A minimum distance classifier is used in the classification procedur...
