Systematic literature review on approaches of extracting image merits

Texture analysis is gaining popularity among the scientific community. A wide variety of applications use texture analysis method. Texture analysis methods can be used for image segmentation, pattern analysis and pattern classification tasks. The application areas range from remote sensing, biomedical imaging, image synthesis, image inpainting and image processing. However, the preliminary step in all these applications refers to the extraction of intricate features from the given image. As a result, a wide verity of feature extraction methods exists in the literature. All the feature extraction methods have their own advantages and shortfalls. For example, some of the methods are computationally expensive, some are rotation and scale invariant whereas the others are easy to implement. This article provides an insight regarding different texture feature extraction techniques. The article bifurcate these techniques into different techniques according to their working principles. Besides provision of the basic working principle of every technique, the article provides an insight regarding their advantages and shortfalls. Moreover, this article considers deep learning and entropy based methods interesting for texture evaluation. Besides, the article also proposes a thorough study of these methods in texture analysis.
