Detecting Species Diversity by Image Texture Analysis
First Claim
1. A system for measuring species diversity, comprising:
- an image preparation module configured to;
receive an image of a landscape, andrepresent a portion of the image as a region of interest comprising a multiplicity of pixels;
a texture analysis module, configured to calculate at least one textural feature of the region of interest; and
a species diversity calculator, configured to calculate the species richness of the landscape based on the at least one textural feature.

Abstract
A method of measuring species diversity is provided. The method includes receiving a first image of a landscape and receiving a second image of a second landscape. The method also includes representing a portion of the first image as a first region of interest comprising a multiplicity of pixels and representing a portion of the second image as a second region of interest comprising a multiplicity of pixels. The method further includes comparing at least one textural feature of the first region of interest and the second region of interest and calculating the species diversity between the first landscape and the second landscape based on the comparison of the at least one textural features of the regions of interest.
