A combined statistical and Structural approach for texture Analysis and its usage in medical Image analysis

Abstract

Texture Analysis has been a study of Image Processing group of newlinepeople quite recently Since the advent of high processing computing facility newlineand mass storage devices the use of computers for image processing became newlinepopular Digital image analysis has been in the active research area for the newlinepast two decades because of its application in various fields Digital images newlineare broadly categorized into two types namely textured and un textured In newlineun textured images the underlying assumption is that the intensity of the newlinepixel is uniform over a defined region whereas the real life objects abraded newlineworn surfaces satellite medical images often exhibit non uniform gray level newlinevariation They are called textured images These texture analysis approaches newlineare grouped into statistical structural or spectral For statistical approaches popular schemes suggested so far include newline newline
