TLDR
In this article, the texture energy approach requires only a few convolutions with small (typically 5x5) integer coefficient masks, followed by a moving-window absolute average operation.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.read more

TL;DR: The analytic methods were found to be roughly equivalent in terms of predictive ability when a small number of variables were chosen and the diagnostic performance of models selected by ANN and logistic regression was similar.

Textural Features for Image Classification
TL;DR: These results indicate that the easily computable textural features based on gray-tone spatial dependancies probably have a general applicability for a wide variety of image-classification applications.
ReportDOI
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.
