	abstract =	{Image texture is an important visual primitive in image
	search and retrieval applications. To characterize texture information
	of images, a texture descriptor is proposed to capture both the
	perceptual information and the statistics of textures. The descriptor
	consists of two parts: a Perceptual Browsing Component (PBC) and a
	Similarity Retrieval Component (SRC). The emphasis of this paper is to
	introduce the extraction method for the PBC which is based on
	multidimensional decomposition of images using Gabor filters. By
	analyzing the one dimensional projections resulting from filtered
	images, PCB gives a quantitative measure about the structuredness of
	textures and also identifies the directionality and coarseness (scale).
	Our experimental results demonstrate that PBC can capture these texture
	properties quite well.},
