Motif analysis of noisy regular textures

A regular texture contains a periodic arrangement of a determinable pattern. Motifs of a regular texture are the minimal parallelogrammic sub-regions that can reproduce the texture by tiling. A motif extracted from a regular texture can be used for texture reproduction, texture recognition, and texture compression. However, it is not simple to accurately capture a motif of a regular texture, as the motif may be non-rectangular or arranged in an arbitrary direction. Moreover, when the texture contains additive noises, such as are created by the scanning process, motif analysis becomes more difficult. In this paper, we present an algorithm to obtain a motif of a noisy regular texture in O
