This paper describes an efficient method of texture image segmentation based on conditional 1-dimensional histograms. We consider the multi-dimensional histogram, and it is projected into each axis in order to obtain conditional 1-dimensional histograms. And we extract uniform regions by iteratively applying the peak-valley detection method to conditional 1-dimensional histograms. In view of the amount of memory and computation time, the proposed method is superior to the conventional method which uses the multi-dimensional histogram. By applying the proposed method to the artificial and natural texture images some desirable results are obtained.
