A multichannel approach to texture description is proposed by approximating joint occurrences of multiple features with marginal distributions, as 1-D histograms, and combining similarity scores for 1-D histograms into an aggregate similarity score. A stepwise feature selection algorithm is used to choose the best feature combination in a particular dimension. In classification experiments with Brodatz textures and MeasTex test suites the proposed method performs favorably compared to GLCM, Gabor and GMRF features.
