Texture Feature Matching Methods for Content based Image Retrieval

摘要

Texture features are widely used for matching in content based image retrieval. Since mid nineteen nineties we find a lot of R & D activities in this area. In this paper an attempt has been made to review these works. Seventy one papers were reviewed and these were classified into spatial domain, wavelet based and miscellaneous methods. These methods were further sub-classified on the basis of mathematical techniques used or the algorithm applied. A very brief description of these methods is given. Finally the paper discusses about the need for comparison of the methods and on the future directions in this area.
