Texture is an important visual cue that is exploited by human visual system pre-attentively and efficiently in interpreting natural scene. However, despite intensive study in vision science, texture as a complex process is not yet completely understood.
According to other results and our experiments, for successful texture description, both the stationarity and the locality in a texture should be taken into account and be represented for a successful texture model. The main practical challenge might be to capture and represent both the global and the local characteristics of a texture into a unified description.
