“…Texture analysis has been extensively studied in recent years and a large number of texture feature extraction techniques have been developed (Cohen et al, 1991;Nixon and Aguado, 2008;Varma and Zisserman, 2009;Zhao et al, 2012;Chen et al, 2010;Liu and Fieguth, 2012;Lei et al, 2014;Qi et al, 2012;Hinton and Salakhutdinov, 2006;Cimpoi et al, 2014;Simonyan et al, 2014). These methods can be roughly grouped into four main categories, namely statistical, structural, spectral and model based feature extraction methods (Xie and Mirmehdi, 2008).…”
