This paper presents a new feature extraction method for classifying a texture image into one of the l possible classes C"i, i=1,...,l. It is assumed that the given M x M image characterized by a set of intensity levels, {y(s"1,S"2), 0@?s"s,s"2@?M-1}, is a realization of an underlying random field model, known as the Simultaneous Autoregressive Model (SAR). This model is characterized by a set of parameters @f whose probability density function p"i(@f), depends on the class to which the image belongs. First it is shown that the maximum likelihood estimate (M.L.E.) @f^*, of @f is an appropriate feature vector for classification purposes. The optimum Bayes classifier which minimizes the average probability of classification error, is then designed using @f^*. Finally the efficiency of the feature vector is demonstrated through experimental results obtained with some natural texture data and a simpler quadratic mean classifier.
