Introduction Life without texture is difficult
to imagine. Moreover the beauty and joy that we experience (see, feel, smell
etc.) is due to the variations. Variation of data at scales smaller than the
scale of interest manifests as texture. In Image Processing variations in
pixel intensities in small region give rise to textures. These variations in
pixel intensities are the result of physical surface properties such as
oriented strands, roughness, and reflectance differences. Though texture is very difficult
to define we recognize texture when we see. The image processing community
tries to understand texture in the limited context; as representation of
intensity variations in small region called texel. The aim of this workshop is to
understand the advancements in texture analysis in Image Processing. Some of
the main Image Processing Research Achievements around texture can be put in
a homogeneous material. We are attempting in this workshop to cover some of
the major achievements in the last 4 decades. In addition to this, some applications of texture analysis such
as Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR), characterization of normal organ in
CT images, etc. will be dealt with. The objectives of the workshop
are: ·
To
provide a platform for researchers in Texture Analysis and Applications. ·
To
promote research activity in Biomedical Texture analysis (Indian medical
texture databases for CT and MRI images is need of the hour) ·
To
form a working group on texture amongst the local and regional researchers.
