What are the features we can extract using gabor filtering for images

What are the features we can extract using gabor filtering for images(histopathological image) is the mean value (from the orientation)will be extracted or any other features apart from it.. having doubt on it... thanks in advance

Gabor Filters are very effective to extract texture feature and their analysis. it is working on the frequency pattrens of a perticular location or region of interest. then matching .

If you are using a set of Gabor filters with different orientations and frequencies, then you have a host of features you can extract. A Gabor filter is essentially a sinusoidal signal with a given frequency and orientation, modulated by a Gaussian.

You can use it for edge and object detection, image representation and coding, color or pattern gradient, etc.

thank you sir... host of features you can extract.... host of feature means.. can i know what are all the features sir.. i came to know abt mean amplitude, mean square energy.. is that right.. or do we have any other features to extract...

No, you cannot know what the all are. See http://www.mathworks.co.uk/matlabcentral/answers/48573-what-are-the-features-of-an-image#answer_59393

Walter Roberson sir now its very clear for me... thank you...

Sir how can i use gabor filter for leaf image identification?

[Image Analyst]

I don't know. Why do you think it should be able to?
