| Abstract: | This article is an attempt to suggest a new approach for eliminating the lengthy process of selecting various parameters for extracting texture features and to quantify the relative importance of the parameters affecting textural classification. A multivariate data analysis technique called ‘conjoint analysis’ has been used in the study to analyse the relative importance of these parameters. Results indicate that the choice of texture feature and window size have higher relative importance in the classification process than quantization level or the choice of image band for extracting texture feature. Results of the classification of an Indian urban environment using spatial property (texture) have also been reported. It was observed that the classification incorporating texture features using grey level co-occurrence matrix and wavelet-based approach improves the overall accuracy in a statistically significant manner in comparison to pure spectral classification. |
