A statistical approach to texture description of medical images: a preliminary study

The article deals with the problem of texture description. It presents a statistical approach. Specifically, it introduces the use of first- and second-order statistics on texture color spaces. At the end of the article, we also give estimations of the computational time complexities of the parameter calculations presented in this article and describe our experience on one application domain. This study is a preliminary preparation for the application of these methods to medical images.
