Fusion of complex networks and randomized neural networks for texture analysis

This paper presents a high discriminative texture analysis method based on the fusion of complex networks and randomized neural networks. In this approach, the input image is modeled as a complex networks and its topological properties as well as the image pixels are used to train randomized neural networks in order to create a signature that represents the deep characteristics of the texture. The results obtained surpassed the accuracies of many methods available in the literature. This performance demonstrates that our proposed approach opens a promising source of research, which consists of exploring the synergy of neural networks and complex networks in the texture analysis field.
