	abstract =	{We present an algorithm for the design of multiple Gabor
	filters for the segmentation of multi-textured images. We draw upon
	earlier results that provide a segmentation error measure based on the
	predicted vector output statistics of multiple filter channels. This
	segmentation error measure is used to design the filter channels for a
	particular segmentation task. In our approach, the filter parameters
	are free to vary from channel to channel and are not restricted to some
	predetermined decomposition of the frequency plane. Thus, our method
	can generate more effective filter designs and result in more effective
	features for image segmentation than prior methods. Finally, we present
	texture segmentation results that confirm the efficacy of the proposed
	procedure. These results show effective segmentation of 8 textures
	using as few as 2 filters, whereas earlier approaches required 13 to 40
	filters to segment 5 textures.},
