Von der hinteren Coverseite

This useful textbook/reference presents an accessible primer on the fundamentals of image texture analysis, as well as an introduction to the K-views model for extracting and classifying image textures. Divided into three parts, the book opens with a review of existing models and algorithms for image texture analysis, before delving into the details of the K-views model. The work then concludes with a discussion of popular deep learning methods for image texture analysis.

Topics and features:

• Provides self-test exercises in every chapter
• Describes the basics of image texture, texture features, and image texture classification and segmentation
• Examines a selection of widely-used methods for measuring and extracting texture features, and various algorithms for texture classification
• Explains the concepts of dimensionality reduction and sparse representation
• Discusses view-based approaches to classifying images
• Introduces the template for the K-views algorithm, as well as a range of variants of this algorithm
• Reviews several neural network models for deep machine learning, and presents a specific focus on convolutional neural networks

This introductory text on image texture analysis is ideally suitable for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students of computer science, who will benefit from the numerous clarifying examples provided throughout the work.
