Texture is independent of the colour and brightness of the region.
The grain of timber is a good example of image texture. Different species of timber have visually distinct grain patterns. These patterns allow these species to be identified, even if the natural colour of the wood has been altered by staining, aging or treatment with chemicals. Visual texture, or image texture, has many important scientific applications. At a large scale, image texture has been used in the analysis of satellite images.
