Colour and Texture Descriptors for Visual Recognition: A Historical Overview

Colour and texture are two perceptual stimuli that determine, to a great extent, the appearance of objects, materials and scenes. The ability to process texture and colour is a fundamental skill in humans as well as in animals; therefore, reproducing such capacity in artificial (‘intelligent’) syste...

description Colour and texture are two perceptual stimuli that determine, to a great extent, the appearance of objects, materials and scenes.
