To extract texture features several techniques are evaluated
High amount of data must be analyzed
Optimal set of features are commonly chosen by “best guess approach”
Techniques dependences are not evaluated
Characteristics from image outcomes are quantified in response variables to compare techniques
No guarantee of optimalityNo reliability of results and inferences
Technique dependences are similarly detected
Coocurrence Matrices
Laws’ Energy
Local Binary Patterns
Wavelets
Significant differences are identified when probability results are smaller than a given
Technique A
Technique B
Technique C
IMAGEQuantified Characteristics
Response variables
Linear Model
Analysis of VarianceANOVA
Comparison is performed by using ANalysis Of VAriance (ANOVA)
The relationship between wear labels and features must be at least linear-ranked
If so, the distinction between consecutive wear labels must be maximized
Application: Automatic wear label assessment for carpets, comparison of three techniques
Two response variables are quantified
1. Monotonicity (): Based on the Spearman’s rank correlation
2. Number of consecutive wear labels that can be statistically distinguished ():Based on the Tukey test
A test for multiple comparison must be further performed
LBPRMC technique performs better than the others for both response variables
Significance differences detected for both response variables at 99% of confidence

Features
Texture is a pattern describing variations in a surface at scales smaller than the scale of interest
Texture analysis has four major areas of interest
medical imaging Industrial inspection
Remote sensing Image retrieval
Optimal combinations of techniques are found
Carpets are certified according to their capability in retaining the original appearance
Distinction of different degrees of wear by texture analysis in photographs
Worn samples are compared to original samples assessing the change in appearance with wear labels
