Non-gaussian models  Alpha-stable distribution  Linear alpha-stable fields  Feature measurement: texture 

In this paper we present an alternative to Gaussian texture generated with alpha stable innovation.The advantage alpha stable textures present over Gaussian textures are twofold: they can model both textures exhibiting row impulsive ch`aracteristic and those that exhibit unsymmetrical characteristic.
