Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new approach for the construction of a hybrid color-texture space by using mutual information. Feature extraction is done by the co-occurrence matrix with SVM (support vectors machine) as a classifier. We apply our approach to the VisTex database and to the classification of a SPOT HRV (XS) image representing two forest areas in the region of Rabat in Morocco. We compare the result of classification obtained in this hybrid space with the one in the RGB color space.
