Texton is such a bad feature for image segmentation!

Texton might be a good feature for contour detection, but it is such a bad feature for image segmentation. In fact, it gives high response at the natural boundary of the objects in the image, but it does not show any benefit for the low-frequency components in the image. See the result for yourself.
