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

Question

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

Answer 1

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.
