Gray Level Homogeneity Analysis: A Novel Approach

Abstract

In this article, we propose a method that helps us to analyze the homogeneity of gray levels locally by calculating a coefficient for each pixel based on the nature of neighboring pixels. This principle of encoding pixels according to their adjacent neighbors is described the nature of the distribution of gray levels within the image and measures their degree of homogeneity locally. This allows us to detect the different regions of the image and their contours based on the coefficient of homogeneity of the gray levels. In addition, this allows us to exploit these homogeneity coefficients to restructure regions of the image, extract and enhance the image contours while reducing the noise present in the image. This homogeneity study principle has several functions in the study and analysis of image texture, as do other methods of homogeneity assessment, such as the local contrast descriptor (LCD) and the co-occurrence matrix.
