Texture Analysis for Image Processing

University of California at Santa Barbara with Vision Research Lab has been opening its digital library of theses and other publications to public. MO wants to share with all of you, who are working on image processing, remote sensing, satellite image analysis, this library. Thankfully, some of those articles have supported MO quite a lot in developing an image processing system called Mini-Image Processor.

I hope you can get something useful from this open library. Good lucks.
