Abstract: Summary. The paper proposes the modelling and analysis of image texture by using an extension of a locally stationary wavelet process model into two dimensions for lattice processes. Such a model permits construction of estimates of a spatially localized spectrum and localized autocovariance which can be used to characterize texture in a multiscale and spatially adaptive way. We provide the necessary theoretical support to show that our two‐dimensional extension is properly defined and has the proper statistical convergence properties. Our use of a statistical model permits us to identify, and correct for, a bias in established texture measures based on non‐decimated wavelet techniques. The method proposed performs nearly as well as optimal Fourier techniques on stationary textures and outperforms them in non‐stationary situations. We illustrate our techniques by using pilled fabric data from a fabric care experiment and simulated tile data.
