Definition
Texture recognition deals with classification of images or regions based on their textural properties.
Background
Texture is an important characteristic of images. It can be seen almost anywhere. A textured region in an image can be characterized by a nonuniform or varying spatial distribution of intensity or color. The specific structure of the texture depends on the surface topography and albedo, the illumination of the surface, and the position and frequency response of the viewing camera.
In texture recognition, the goal is to assign an unknown sample image to one of a set of known texture classes. A large number of different approaches for texture description have been proposed. A major problem is that textures in the real world are often not uniform, due to changes in orientation, scale, or other visual appearance. In addition, the degree of computational complexity of many...
