Abstract: Texture classication is an important area in the field of texture analysis. In this paper, we propose a novel stochastic approach-multiresolution Markov Random Field (MRMRF) model to represent textures and a parameter estimation method based on Markov chain Monte Carlo method is proposed. The parameters estimated from the decomposed subbands can be used as features to classify textures. The classifier used here is nearest linear combination (NLC) which uses the combination of the features of several prototypes of an original texture to fit the features of the query texture. This method is better than NN (nearest neighbor) classifier. The experiment results illustrate the effectiveness of our method.
