Bitdesc 0.0.3

Bio-Inspired Texture Descriptor

BiT

BiT is a novel approach capable of quantifying a complex system of diverse patterns through species diversity and richness, and taxonomic distinctiveness. It considers an image as a species ecosystem and computes species diversity and richness measures, and taxonomic indices to describe the texture. BiT takes advantage of ecological patterns' invariance characteristics to build a permutation, rotation, and translation invariant descriptor. Experiments on different datasets have shown that BiT texture descriptor has advantages over several texture descriptors and deep methods.
