For the analysis of textured image, it requires large storage space and computation time to calculate the matrix features such as SGLDM(Spatial Gray Level Dependence Matrix). NGLDM(Neighboring Gray Level Dependence Matrix). NSGLDM(Neighboring Spatial Gray Level Dependence Matrix) and GLRLM(Gray Level Run Length Matrix). In spite of a large amount of information that each matrix contains, a set of several correlated scalar features calculated from the matrix is not sufficient to approximate it. In this paper, we propose a new classifier for textured images based on these matrices in which the projected vectors of each matrix on the meaningful directions are used as features. In the proposed method, an unknown image is classified to the class of a known image that gives the maximum similarity between the projected model vector from the known image and the vector from the unknown image. In the experiment to classify images of agricultural products, the proposed method shows good performance as much as 85-95% of correct classification ratio.
