One-dimensional Grey-level Co-occurrence Matrices for texture classification
Jing Yi Tou, Yong Haur Tay, Phooi Yee Lau · 2008
The grey-level co-occurrence matrices (GLCM) has been widely used for various texture analysis implementations and has provided satisfying results. The conventional GLCM method is two dimensional as it focus on the co-occurrence of the specific pixel pairs. The one-dimensional GLCM reduces the matrices to a single dimension by focusing only on the differences of the grey level between pixel pairs. The experiment results on 32 Brodatz textures shows that in a same setting, the one-dimensional GLCM achieved a recognition rate of 83.01% while the conventional GLCM achieved a recognition rate of 81.35%. The results show that the one-dimensional GLCM can perform as good as the conventional GLCM but with fewer computations involved.
