  texture
       
           A measure of the variation of the intensity of a
          surface, quantifying properties such as smoothness, coarseness
          and regularity.  It's often used as a region descriptor in
          image analysis and computer vision.
       
          The three principal approaches used to describe texture are
          statistical, structural and spectral.  Statistical techniques
          characterise texture by the statistical properties of the grey
          levels of the points comprising a surface.  Typically, these
          properties are computed from the grey level histogram or
          grey level cooccurrence matrix of the surface.
       
          Structural techniques characterise texture as being composed
          of simple primitives called "texels" (texture elements), that
          are regularly arranged on a surface according to some rules.
          These rules are formally defined by grammars of various
          types.
       
          Spectral techiques are based on properties of the Fourier
          spectrum and describe global periodicity of the grey levels of
          a surface by identifying high energy peaks in the spectrum.
