Texture Detection for Image Analysis

Many applications such as image compression, pre-processing or segmentation require some information from the regions composing an image. The main objective of this paper is to define a methodology to extract some local information from an image. Each region is characterized in terms of homogeneity (region composed with the same grey-level or a single texture) and its type (textured or uniform). The decision criterion is based on the use of classical texture attributes (cooccurrence matrix and grey-levels moments) and a support vector machine in order to realize the fusion of the different attributes. We then characterize each region considering its type by appropriate features.
