## Abstract

The scattering transform network (STN), which has a similar structure as that of a popular convolutional neural network except its use of predefined convolution filters and a small number of layers, can generates a robust representation of an input signal relative to small deformations. We propose a novel Monogenic Wavelet Scattering Network (MWSN) for 2D texture image classification through a cascade of monogenic wavelet filtering with nonlinear modulus and averaging operators by replacing the 2D Morlet wavelet filtering in the standard STN. Our MWSN can extract useful hierarchical and directional features with interpretable coefficients, which can be further compressed by PCA and fed into a classifier. Using the CUReT texture image database, we demonstrate the superior performance of our MWSN over the standard STN. This performance improvement can be explained by the natural extension of 1D analyticity to 2D monogenicity.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
