Image Texture Classification Using Combined Grey Level Co-Occurrence Probabilities and Support Vector Machines

Texture refers to properties that represent the surface or structure of an object and is defined as something consisting of mutually related elements. The main focus in this study is to do texture segmentation and classification for texture digital images. Grey level co-occurrence probabilities (GLCP) method is being used to extract features from texture image. Gaussian support vector machines (GSVM) have been proposed to do classification on the extracted features. A popular Brodatz texture album had been chosen to test out the result. In this study, a combined GLCP-GSVM shows an improvement over GLCP in terms of classification accuracy.
