Other statistical methods of texture description The concept of texture is intuitively obvious but has no precise definition. Texture is something consisting of mutually related elements. Texture description is scale dependent.
Humans describe texture as fine, coarse, grained, smooth, etc.
These description are imprecise and non-quantitative. Texture can be described by its tone and structure . Texture can be described by the number and types of primitives and by their spatial relationships. The following figure shows that neither identical primitives nor identical structure is sufficient for texture description if considered alone. Co-occurrence matrices description uses 2 nd order image statistics.
