Brushlet is a novel tool for image orientation analysis, whose energy feature is adopted in texture segmentation, image classification and denoising. In this paper, the property of Brushlet is used: the transform is a complex value function with a phase, the energy and phase information are adopted as a fused feature for texture classification. Experiments on homogeneous, inhomogeneous images and total Brodatz texture alblum prove that the complex feature of Brushlet outperforms the method based on single energy.
