Abstract
A method is presented for classifying each pixel of a textured image, and thus for segmenting the scene. The "texture energy" approach requires only a few convolutions with small (typically 5x5) integer coefficient masks, followed by a moving-window absolute average operation. Normalization by the local mean and standard deviation eliminates the need for histogram equalization. Rotation-invariance can also be achieved by using averages of the texture energy features. The convolution masks are separable, and can be implemented with 1-dimensional (vertical and horizontal) or multipass 3x3 convolutions. Special techniques permit rapid processing on general-purpose digital computers.

SVD-Based Modeling for Image Texture Classification Using Wavelet Transformation

TL;DR: This paper introduces a new model for image texture classification based on wavelet transformation and singular value decomposition that achieves higher recognition rates compared to the traditional subband energy- based approach, the hybrid IMM/SVM approach, and the GGD-based approach.

Interest Point Detector and Feature Descriptor Survey

Scott Krig
TL;DR: The interest point is the keypoints in each image, and often provides the scale, rotational, and illumination invariance attributes for the descriptor; the descriptor adds more detail and more invariant attributes.

Multifeature texture analysis for the classification of clouds in satellite imagery

TL;DR: The aim of this work was to develop a system based on multifeature texture analysis and modular neural networks that will facilitate the automated interpretation of satellite cloud images to provide a standardized and efficient way for classifying cloud types that can be used as an operational tool in weather analysis.

Textured Image Segmentation

TL;DR: In this article, texture energy is measured by filtering with small masks, typically 5x5, then with a moving-window average of the absolute image values, leading to a simple class of texture energy transforms, which perform better than any of the preceding methods.
