The present invention provides a method of computer analysis of a data set representing an image to extract a texture based measure therefrom, said image including a multiplicative bias in intensity within the image of unknown magnitude, the method comprising applying to said data set a bank of texture extracting filters, such that said filters are chosen from filters that are invariant to the presence of a multiplicative bias field. By providing such a method, rather than attempting to correct the bias field before extraction of a texture based-biomarker, a texture-based biomarker that is bias field invariant is extracted. This makes correction of the bias field unnecessary.
