An efficient method for selection of features suitable for classification of textured images is presented. The spatial interaction of gray levels in a local neighbourhoodNis modeled by stochastic random field models. The estimates of the model parameters are taken as textural features denoted byfN. Selection of anNthat would yield powerful features is done through visual examination of images synthesized usingfN. Experimental studies involving nine different types of natural textures yield 97% classification accuracy.
