A Fast algorithm of GLCM Computation Based on Programmable Graphics Hardware

摘要

It is well-known that GLCM is the effective method for segmenting texture images. GLCM is widely used in image analysis, image segmentation, etc. But because the essence of GLCM is a problem of second-order statistical computation, so the calculation of GLCM is very expensive. In this paper, a new method is presented to calculate GLCM. It is based on Programmable Graphics Hardware. The results show that the time cost of computation is greatly reduced.
