Analysis of Image Texture Features Based on Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix

Gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) is a second-order statistical measure of image grayscale which reflects the comprehensive information of image grayscale in the direction, local neighborhood and magnitude of changes. Firstly, we analyze and reveal the generation process of gray level co-occurrence matrix from horizontal, vertical and principal and secondary diagonal directions. Secondly, we use Brodatz texture images as samples, and analyze the relationship between non-zero elements of gray level co-occurrence matrix in changes of both direction and distances of each pixels pair by. Finally, we explain its function of the analysis process of texture. This paper can provided certain referential significance in the application of using gray level co-occurrence matrix at quality evaluation of texture image.
