A Brief Survey of Dynamic Texture Description and Recognition

Abstract

This paper is a brief survey of approaches to description and recognition of dynamic textures. To our best knowledge, no such survey is currently available. Our survey is limited to temporal textures: we do not consider the other two classes of motion patterns. Even within DT area, our attention is further limited to characterisation and recognition only. In particular, we do not address DT modelling and synthesis, except for the case when model parameters are used for recognition. (For recent work on synthesis, see [16, 7, 8, 33].) Basically, we will deal with dynamic texture descriptors, or features, that have the potential of being used for DT detection, segmentation, recognition and indexing in video
