“…In most previous research pertaining to PSM, researchers have tried to use the rich information contained in the Fourier transform phase [8,9,15,30]. This is mainly attributed to successes in the study of image reconstruction from partial Fourier transform information, where the Fourier phase has been shown to contain more information than the Fourier magnitude [6,11,21,22]. So far, however, all results in texture analysis research seem to show that the textural content of the phase information is low.…”
