Textured regions extraction using matching pursuit method

This paper shows the method of extracting textured regions from an image using matching pursuit method. Textured region is made by iteration of the texture component that is called “texton”. and its dominant spectrum is in the medium frequency. Matching pursuit algorithm can model images with the 2D wavelets and describe the local properties of the image. The textured region is extracted as the regions that have same properties as ones in its neighborhood.
