Colour image texture analysis: dependence on colour spaces

In this paper we investigate the role of colour spaces on texture analysis. We extract a range of correlogram and colour moment features for the VisTex colour texture benchmark in different colour spaces and find the average probabilistic distance of separation across different objects for different features and suggest the colour spaces that are best suited for the classification process. We also show the results of k-nearest neighbour classification for different features and their combined set.
