Moment-based texture segmentation

Texture segmentation is one of the early steps towards identifying surfaces and objects in an image. In this paper a moment based texture segmentation algorithm is presented. The moments in small windows of the image are used as texture features which are then used to segment the textures. The algorithm has successfully segmented binary images containing textures with identical second-order statisttics as well as a number of natural gray level texture images.
