Texture Feature Extraction Techniques for Image Recognition

The book describes various texture feature extraction approaches and texture analysis applications. It introduces and discusses the importance of texture features, and describes various types of texture features like statistical, structural, signal-processed and model-based. It also covers applications related to texture features, such as facial imaging. It is a valuable resource for machine vision researchers and practitioners in different application areas.
