olive is a perennial evergreen tree which has good adaptability to poor environmental conditions such as salt and drought resistance. in recent years, there is a tendency to plant olive trees in green spaces. therefore, this study was carried out to evaluate 15 olive cultivars regarding growth habit, form, and texture to recommend for landscape. six-year-old trees of 15 olive cultivars, which h...

soil texture is an important soil physical property that governs most physical, chemical, biological, and hydrological processes in soils. detailed information on soil texture variability is crucial for proper crop and land management and environmental studies. therefore, at present research, 103 soil profiles were dogged and then sampled in order to prepare digital map of soil texture in bijar...

This study investigates the potential of object-based texture parameters extracted from 15m spatial resolution ASTER imagery for estimating tree size diversity in a Mediterranean forested landscape in Turkey. Tree size diversity based on tree basal area was determined using the Shannon index and Gini Coefficient at the sampling plot level. Image texture parameters were calculated based on the g...

This paper proposes to use ETM+ multispectral data and panchromatic band as well as texture features derived from the panchromatic band for land cover classification. Four texture features including one ‘internal texture’ and three GLCM based textures namely correlation, entropy, and inverse different moment were used in combination with ETM+ multispectral data. Two data sets involving combinat...

Accuracy and efficiency are two important issues in designing content-based image retrieval system. In this paper we present an approach on a wavelet transform called tree-structured transform or wavelet packets for texture analysis. A simple texture classification algorithm having excellent performance for dominant channels decomposition tree structured is proposed here. The performance of our...

This master thesis presents a novel classification based tree detection method for autonomous navigation in forest environment. The fusion of color, and texture cues has been used to segment the image into tree trunk and background objects. The segmentation of forest images into tree trunk and background objects is a challenging task due to high variations of illumination, effect of different c...

We present an algorithm based on statistical learning for synthesizing static and time-varying textures matching the appearance of an input texture. Our algorithm is general and automatic, and it works well on various types of textures including 1D sound textures, 2D texture images and 3D texture movies. The same method is also used to generate 2D texture mixtures that simultaneously capture th...

A complete texture image retrieval system includes two techniques: texture feature extraction and similarity measurement. Specifically, similarity measurement is a key problem for texture image retrieval study. In this paper, we present an effective similarity measurement formula. The MIT vision texture database, the Brodatz texture database, and the Outex texture database were used to verify t...
