Texture Classification is the problem of distringuishing between textures, a classic problem in pattern recognition. Since many very sophisticated classifiers exist, the key challenge here is the development of effective features to extract from a given textured image.

The artist has effectively used space by first creating a triangular shape with the raft and bodies of the men acting as the base. Everything in the painting then leads up to the man waving the flag (center, top-right).

Texture is the physical feel of something — smooth, rough, fuzzy, slimy, and lots of textures something in between. Sandpaper is very rough — it has a gritty, rough texture. Other things, like linoleum, have a smooth texture. Texture has to do with how an object feels and it’s ingredients.

Soil texture is a classification instrument used both in the field and laboratory to determine soil classes based on their physical texture. These classifications are based on the percentages of sand, silt, and clay in the soil.

An image texture is a set of metrics calculated in image processing designed to quantify the perceived texture of an image. Image texture gives us information about the spatial arrangement of color or intensities in an image or selected region of an image.

Texture Analysers are used to measure many properties, such as Hardness, Brittleness, Spreadability, Adhesiveness, Tensile Strength, Extensibility, etc, on a vast range of products.

Your “Stickiness” units would then be something like ((initial volume) – (final volume)) / time. The best measurements are usually the simplest. Adhesive manufactures like 3M just glue things together and measure how much force on various vectors it takes to break the bond.

On an average, across industries, 20% stickiness is considered good and 25% and beyond is considered exceptional. While Product Stickiness Ratio is a very good metric to understand your Product Health, there are certain things to be cautious about.

10 Ways to Increase Website Stickiness

1. Make Initial Site Interaction Seamless. The initial interaction with your site is critical.
2. Make Initial Site Interaction Relevant.
3. Make it Easy for Them to Find Their Way.
4. Serve Dependable, Fresh Content.
5. Produce Exclusive Content.
6. Reduce Ad Clutter.
7. Start a Conversation with your Users.
8. Leverage User Feedback.

Metrics for Weekly Usage For products with weekly usage, the key metric to track is WAU/MAU. If the average user opens the product between two and three weeks of the month, i.e. WAU/MAU is at or above 60%, then the product could be classified as one with weekly usage.

To measure the stickiness of your product, the Daily Active Users/Monthly Active Users (DAU/MAU) ratio is often looked at. It provides insight into the number of monthly active users who engage with your product in a day. MAU is an easy-to-calculate and easy-to-compare metric.

Calculating DAU/MAU ratio Simply divide DAU by MAU to get the user ratio percentage. Example: If you have 1,000 daily users and 5,000 monthly users, the DAU/MAU ratio is 20%. The DAU/MAU ratio will tell you the rate of returning users (a.k.a. stickiness).

The acronyms DAU, WAU, and MAU stand for daily active users, weekly active users, and monthly active users, respectively.
