	abstract =	{Color and texture, two main features in image analysis,
	are integrated into a unique color texture model. A reduced color
	covariance texture model is described which is based on second order
	statistics. In this texture model natural color micro-textures are
	represented by color histograms and color covariance matrices. While
	the color histograms store the color distribution of the image a set of
	covariance matrices represents the spatial interrelation of color
	pixels.  The significance of the parameter set is tested by the results
	of a re-synthesis algorithm. The histogram and covariance parameters of
	natural color textures are calculated and taken as an input for the
	re-synthesis of the same texture. Then the synthesis result is compared
	with the original.  A high similarity indicates an adequate
	significance of the parameter set.  Various experiments are performed
	to find a minimal set of significant parameters for the covariance
	texture model. The histogram quantisation, the size, number and density
	of the covariance matrices are reduced to define a minimal parameter
	set for color micro textures.},
