Texture Analysis

This chapter reviews and discusses various aspects of texture analysis. The concentration is on the various methods of extracting textural features from images. The geometric, random field, fractal, and signal processing models of texture are presented. The major classes of texture processing problems such as segmentation, classification, and shape from texture are discussed. The possible application areas of texture such as automated inspection, document processing, and remote sensing are summarized. A bibliography is provided at the end for further reading.
