Abstract
The feature extraction aspect of image analysis seeks to identify inherent characteristics, or features, of objects found within an image. These characteristics are used to describe the object, or attributes of the object, prior to the subsequent task of classification. Feature extraction operates on two-dimensional image arrays but produces a list of descriptions, or a ‘feature vector’ (note the change in information format indicated on the generic model, section 1.4.1).
