Texture analysis using feature-based pairwise interaction maps
Pairwise pixel interactions have proved to be a powerful tool in feature based [1,2] and model based [3,4] texture analysis. Various successful applications of the feature-based interaction map (FBIM) approach have already been presented [1,2,5,6]. Different aspects and components of the approach have been discussed, but no self-contained description of the FBIM method has been published yet. This paper provides a comprehensive up-to-date survey of the approach, including all major algorithms and a series of systematic experimental studies that demonstrate the capabilities of the approach.
