Abstract
This chapter focusses on the development of a new image processing technique for the
processing of large and complex images, especially SAR images. We propose here a new
and effective approach that outperforms the existing methods for the calculation of high
order textural parameters. With a single processor, this approach is about 256 n − 1 times
faster than the co-occurrence matrix approach considered as classical, where n is the
order of the textural parameter for a 256-gray scales image. In a parallel environment
made of N processor, this performance can almost be multiply by the factor N. Our
approach is based on a new modeling of textural parameters of a generic order n > 1
equivalent to the classical formulation, but which is no longer based on the co-
occurrence matrix of order n > 1 . By avoiding the calculation of the co-occurrence
matrix of order n > 1 , the resulted model enables a gain of about 256 n bytes of the
required memory space.
