DYNAMIC TEXTURE TOOLBOX (DT Toolbox)

The dynamic texture toolbox contains implementation of methods for identifying and comparing video sequences by representing them as Linear Dynamical Systems (LDSs). All code is currently implemented in MATLAB with some code depending on the MATLAB control systems toolbox.

The dynamic texture toolbox can be downloaded from the Vision Lab@ JHU code repository ( http://www.vision.jhu.edu/code ) and requires user registration. A set of tutorials on how to use the toolbox can be found at

http://cis.jhu.edu/~avinash/projects/DTBox/tutorial.html
