Abstract: The quantitative categorization of textures according to their visual appearances is an important area of research in computer vision and image understanding, because texture analysis and its applications are found useful in many areas of health, medicine, sciences, and engineering. For the first time, the theory of chaos and fuzzy sets are applied in this paper to measure the spatial dynamics of the texture spectrum. Experiments carried out on the well-known Brodatz texture database suggest the promising application of the method proposed for texture quantification.

Keywords: Texture categorization, spatial dynamics, metric entropy, fuzzy sets
