Texture can be defined as the change of image intensity that forms repetitive patterns
resulting from the physical properties of an object's roughness or differences in a reflection
on the surface. Considering that texture forms a system of patterns in a non-deterministic
way, biodiversity concepts can help its characterization from an image. This paper proposes
a novel approach to quantify such a complex system of diverse patterns through species
diversity, richness, and taxonomic distinctiveness. The proposed approach considers each …
