Texture Descriptors in MPEG-7

We present three descriptors of texture feature of a region. Namely, the homogeneous texture descriptor (HTD), the edge histogram descriptor (EHD), and the perceptual browsing descriptor (PBD). They are currently included in the Committee Draft of the MPEG-7 Visual (ISO/IEC 15938-3). Each descriptor has a unique functionality and application domain. HTD and EHD describe statistical distribution of the texture and are useful for image retrieval application, while HTD is for homogeneously textured region and EHD is for multi-textured natural image or sketch. PBD is a compact descriptor suitable for quick browsing application.
