How can the Boundary Contour System segment textures with identical
second-order statistics? I mean, first-order differences are easily
discovered by the "contrast sensitive" cells at the first stage of the
BCS (the OC filter), while the CC-loop can account for second- order
(dipole) statistics; but how can the BCS segment textures, as the ones
presented by Julez [1], which have even identical third-order statistics
but are easily discriminable? Is the BCS/FCS model consistent with
Julez's Textons theory? If so, in which way?
Thanks!
