Texture analysis using pairwise interaction maps

Abstract

Pairwise pixel interactions have proved to be a powerful tool in feature based [3,7] as well model based [9] texture analysis. Different aspects and components of the feature based interaction map (FBIM) approach have already been discussed, but no self-contained description of the FBIM has been published yet. This paper provides a comprehensive up-to-date survey of the approach, including major algorithms and a series of experimental studies that demonstrate the capabilities of the approach.
