Textons can be learned from motion sequences, which provide more information than single image [1]. Figure 1 reports an experiment that various snow flakes can be tracked and their shape learned over the motion sequence. We call the texton with motion patterns as "moton". For more details, please visit Yizhou Wang's web.
