Description
FOTO (Fourier Textural Ordination) is an algorithm allowing texture
characterization and comparison, and is fully
described in Textural ordination based on Fourier spectral
decomposition: a method to analyze and compare landscape patterns
(Pierre Couteron, Nicolas Barbier and Denis Gautier, 2006)
FOTOTEX is to date the most complete Python implementation of this
algorithm. It is (really) fast and optimized to get the best of
FOTO on any computer.
Installation
Use pip in a terminal to install fototex:
shell script
$ pip install fototex
Note on GDAL
Installing GDAL through pip might be tricky as it only gets
the bindings, so be sure the library is already installed on
your machine, and that the headers are located in the right
folder. Another solution may to install it through a third-party
distribution such as conda.
See here for the steps
you should follow to install GDAL/OGR and the GDAL Python libraries
on your machine.
