Description of Visual Texture by Computers

Abstract

Some general properties of textures are discussed for a restricted class of textures. A program is described which inputs a scene using vidisector camera, discerns the texture elements, calculates values for a set of descriptive features for each texture element, and displays the distribution of each feature. The results of the experiments indicate that the descriptive method used may be useful in characterizing more complex textures. This is essentially the content of a Bachelor's thesis completed in June, 1972.
