“…The main advantage of wavelets over Fourier analysis is that they provide better resolution in space as well as frequency. In particular, it has emerged as an effective tool for texture analysis, which leads to three well-known texture signatures, namely, the energy signature (Laine and Fan, 1993;Wouwer et al, 1999), the co-occurrence signature (Haralick et al, 1973;Walker et al, 1995Walker et al, , 2003, and the generalized Gaussian density (GGD) signature (Do and Vetterli, 2002;Mallat, 1989;Sharifi and Leon-Garcia, 1995).…”
