Detecting species diversity by image texture analysis
First Claim
1. A system for measuring species diversity, comprising:
- a memory storing processor executable instructions; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein execution of the processor executable instructions by the one or more processors causes the one or more processors to;
receive a first image of a first landscape;
receive a second image of a second landscape;
represent a portion of the first image as a first region of interest comprising a multiplicity of pixels, andrepresent a portion of the second image as a second region of interest comprising a multiplicity of pixels;
calculate at least one textural characteristic of two or more spectral bands of each region of interest; and
calculate the species diversity between the first landscape and the second landscape based on the textural features.

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.
