STATISTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF IMAGES AS INDICATORS OF FORMS,

Research by various scientists in the field of distinguishing textures by statistical analysis is reviewed. The study of bees ability to distinguish textures synthesized into statistical patterns by computers is included. The necessity for several parameters rather than a single one to make a meaningful texture classification is mentioned, as are methods of calculating surfaces. Work on the statistics of building a visual system is discussed briefly. The use of n-grams and difficulties presented with the increase of n are noted. The results of experiments on the physiology of animal vision are mentioned.
