This study concern to characterize the pancreas areato head, body and tail using Gray Level Run Length Matrix (GLRLM) and extract classification features from CT images. The GLRLM techniques included eleven’s features. To find the gray level distribution in CT images it complements the GLRLM features extracted from CT images with runs of gray level in pixels and estimate the size distribution of thesubpatterns. analyzing the image with Interactive Data Language IDL software to measure the grey level distribution of images. The results show that the Gray Level Run Length Matrix and  features give classification accuracy of pancreashead 89.2%, body 93.6 and the tail classification accuracy 93.5%. The overall classification accuracy of pancreas area 92.0%.These relationships are stored in a Texture Dictionary that can be later used to automatically annotate new CT images with the appropriate pancreas area names.

Writer identification problem is one of the important area of research due to its various applications and is a challenging task. The major research on writer identification is based on handwritten English documents with text independent and dependent. However, there is no significant work on identification of writers based on Kannada document. Hence, in this paper, we propose a text-independent method for off-line writer identification based on Kannada handwritten scripts. By observing each individual’s handwriting as a different texture image, a set of features based on Discrete Cosine Transform, Gabor filtering and gray level co-occurrence matrix, are extracted from preprocessed document image blocks. Experimental results demonstrate that the Gabor energy features are more potential than the DCTs and GLCMs based features for writer identification from 20 people.

The current criteria for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) require the presence of relevant cognitive deficits, so the underlying neuropathological damage is important by the time the diagnosis is made. Therefore, the evaluation of new biomarkers to detect AD in its early stages has become one of the main research focuses. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate a set of texture parameters as potential biomarkers of the disease. To this end, the ALTEA (ALzheimer TExture Analyzer) software tool was created to perform 2D and 3D texture analysis on magnetic resonance images. This intuitive tool was used to analyze textures of circular and spherical regions situated in the right and left hippocampi of a cohort of 105 patients: 35 AD patients, 35 patients with early mild cognitive impairment (EMCI) and 35 cognitively normal (CN) subjects. A total of 25 statistical texture parameters derived from the histogram, the Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix and the Gray-Level Run-Length Matrix, were extracted from each region and analyzed statistically to study their predictive capacity. Several textural parameters were statistically significant (p < 0.05) when differentiating AD subjects from CN and EMCI patients, which indicates that texture analysis could help to identify the presence of AD.
