	abstract =	{Gabor filters have been successfully applied to a broad
	range of image processing tasks. The present paper considers the design
	of a single filter to segment a two-texture image. A new efficient
	algorithm for Gabor-filter design is presented, along with methods for
	estimating filter output statistics. The algorithm draws upon previous
	results that showed that the output of a Gabor-filtered texture is
	modeled well by a Rician distribution. A measure of the total output
	power is used to select the center frequency of the filter and is used
	to estimate the Rician statistics of the Gabor-filtered image. The
	method is further generalized to include the statistics of postfiltered
	outputs that are generated by a Gaussian filtering operation following
	the Gabor filter. The new method typically requires an order of
	magnitude less computation to design a filter than a previously
	proposed method. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of the
	method.},
