A New Texture Descriptor: Composite Sub_band Gradient Vector
Texture Analysis by Gradient-Based Feature Gradient operator (Sobel) reflect the magnitude and direction. Summing up the magnitude in the same direction. Every successive k(=10) directions grouped together
Euclidean distance: measure the difference between two gradient vector.
Composite Subband Gradient Vector drawback
LL sub-image: Both horizontal and vertical direction have low- frequencies. LH sub-image: Horizontal direction has low-frequencies and vertical direction has high-frequencies
HL sub-image: Horizontal direction has high- frequencies and vertical direction has low-frequencies. HH sub-image: Both horizontal and vertical direction have high- frequencies.
SGV1 be the sub-image LL SGV2 be the sub-image LH SGV3 be the sub-image HL SGV4 be the sub-image HH CSGV = SGV1|| SGV2|| SGV3|| SGV4(where || is append operator) CSGV is called Composite Subband Gradient Vector

Segmentation using Reduced-Length CSG Vectors Segmentation process into three stages: (1).split stage. (2).merge stage. (3).boundary stage. Assume that an image I is of size m*m pixels
Split stage.
Merge stage.
Boundary stage.
Result(Split:0.1 Merge:0.7)
