This work presents an approach for the construction of
a hybrid color-texture space by using mutual information. Feature
extraction is done by the Laws filter with SVM (Support Vectors
Machine) as a classifier. The classification is applied on the VisTex
database and a SPOT HRV (XS) image representing two forest
areas in the region of Rabat in Morocco. The result of classification
obtained in the hybrid space is compared with the one obtained in
the RGB color space.
