How to match texture similarity in images?

Question

What are the ways in which to quantify the texture of a portion of an image? I\'m trying to detect areas that are similar in texture in an image, sort of a measure of \"how

Answer 1

I'd suggest to use wavelet analysis. Wavelets are localized in both time and frequency and give a better signal representation using multiresolution analysis than FT does.

Thre is a paper explaining a wavelete approach for texture description. There is also a comparison method.

You might need to slightly modify an algorithm to process images of arbitrary shape.
