Talk:Feature
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is stated that: "In image processing, a feature is a picture element which can be used for recognition."
I think this definition is to narrow, as it is clearly true that features could also be derived, eg. textural classification. For instance any feature you may derive from a GLCM, is by this definition not a feature.
However I am not sure how this should be properly stated.
The defintion provided for software feautre is incorect. it is implied that features are artifical elements used only be 'marketeers'. Features are useful way of describing individual functionality. There is an entire field of feature-based software enginerring with its own academic confererences so the use of the term 'marketeer' is not only perjorative but inaccurate
[edit] General sense
Does the word "feature" not have any "general" sense? Is every single meaning attached to a certain context? DanielDemaret 15:04, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- I have been looking for this also and added the wiktionary article but it doesn't explain other uses of the word feature like: "The compositions feature new rhythm structures..." Death2 18:06, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
