For the further analysis of texture characteristics

considering from the texture direction

a definition formula of texture direction is presented

followed by some useful explanation and discussion. To describe the texture images' direction

a discriminating function is selected properly and an eigenvector

with physical significance

is constructed successfully. About the data processing

the theory of fuzzy information

attribute means clustering and new distance measurement formula are employed

associated with an improved fuzzy clustering method

to directional texture images

satisfied results in the clustering &segmentation experiment had been obtained. Experimental outcomes show that the method has good capability to describe the directionality of texture image. Benefit from this method

stripe analyses

relatively movement analyses and other complexity image analyses regions could give an easy description to the directional objects.
