Texture features in medical image analysis: a survey

The texture is defined as spatial structure of the intensities of the pixels in an image that is repeated periodically in the whole image or regions, and makes the concept of the image. Texture, color and shape are three main components which are used by human visual system to recognize image contents. In this paper, first of all, efficient and updated texture analysis operators are survived with details. Next, some state-of-the-art methods are survived that use texture analysis in medical applications and disease diagnosis. Finally, different approaches are compared in terms of accuracy, dataset, application, etc. Results demonstrate that texture features separately or in joint of different feature sets such as deep, color or shape features provide high accuracy in medical image classification.
