Abstract
An apparatus for analyzing image texture information and a method therefor are provided. The apparatus for analyzing the image texture information includes a filtering unit for filtering a still image including a plurality of pixels of M rows×N columns with filters having different filtering coefficients, an X axis projector for calculating a gray level mean value of a row of N pixels, for each row, with respect to the filtered plurality of images, and a Y axis projector for calculating a gray level mean value of a column of M pixels, for each column, with respect to the filtered plurality of images. It is possible to describe the orientation and the periodicity of the texture in extracting the texture information.
