Two fast illumination invariant image retrieval methods for scenes comprising textured objects with variable illumination are introduced. Both methods are based on texture gradient modelled by efficient set of random field models. We developed the illumination insensitive measures for textured images representation and compared them favorably with steerable pyramid and Gabor features in the illumination invariant BTF texture recognition.
