Texture analysis is an important generic research area of machine vision. The potential areas of application include biomedical image analysis, industrial inspection, analysis of satellite or aerial imagery, content-based retrieval from image databases, document analysis, biometric person authentication, scene analysis for robot navigation, texture synthesis for computer graphics and animation, and image coding. Texture analysis has been a topic of intensive research, but the progress has been very slow. A workshop on "Texture Analysis in Machine Vision" was held at the University of Oulu, Finland, in 1999, providing a forum for presenting research results and for discussing how to make progress in order to increase the usefulness of texture in practical applications. This book contains extended and revised versions of the papers presented at the workshop. The first part of the book deals with texture analysis methodology, while the second part covers various applications. The work seeks to offer a unique view of different approaches and applications of texture analysis. It should be of interest both to researchers of machine vision and to practitioners in various application areas.
