Method and apparatus for calculating pixel features of image data

摘要

A feature extracting apparatus includes a pixel feature calculator that calculates a pixel feature for each pixel of image data; an area setting unit configured to set a plurality of areas in the image data; a coordinate mapping unit configured to map a first coordinate in one of the plurality of areas onto a second coordinate in at least one of the other plurality of areas; and a co-occurrence matrix calculator configured to calculate a co-occurrence matrix for each of the plurality of areas, the co-occurrence matrix being frequency of combinations of the pixel features at the first coordinate and the pixel feature at the second coordinates.
