TL;DR

A procedure for extracting a set of textural features for characterizing small areas in radar images is presented and it is shown that these features can be used for classifying segments of radar images corresponding to different geological formations.

Abstract

Texture is an important spatial feature useful for identifying objects or regions of interest in an image. While textural features have been widely used in the analysis of a variety of photographic images, they have not been used for processing radar images. In this paper, we present a procedure for extracting a set of textural features for characterizing small areas in radar images and show that these features can be used for classifying segments of radar images corresponding to different geological formations.

Three standard approaches to automatic texture classification make use of features based on the Fourier power spectrum, on second-order gray level statistics, and on first-order statistics of gray level differences, respectively; it was found that the Fouriers generally performed more poorly, while the other feature sets all performned comparably.

Differentiation between the coarsenesses of samples of a given texture may be successfully effected using any of the following measures: amount of edge per unit area, self-match (as measured by sum of absolute differences) over a unit shift, Gray value dependency, and number of relative extrema per unit Area.
