Texture Classification Based on Cross and Diagonal Shape Descriptor Co-Occurrence Matrix

In the proposed method an image texture is divided in to two sets of images based on the cross texture unit elements (CTUE) and diagonal texture unit element (DTUE). The CTUE and DTUE represent four pixels. The CTUE and DTUE are represented as two separate 2 x 2 grids. Shape descriptors indexes (SDI) are evaluated on the 2 x 2 grids of CTUE and DTUE. Based on the SDI of CTUE and DTUE two different texton images are formed. On these two texton images, gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) features are evaluated individually for a classification purpose. The proposed method is experimented on different textures. The results indicate the efficacy of proposed method over the other methods.
