The overall objective of this work was to develop and evaluate computer vision and machine learning technique for classification of Huanglongbing-(HLB)-infected and healthy leaves using fluorescence imaging spectroscopy. The fluorescence images were segmented using normalized graph cut, and texture features were extracted from the segmented images using cooccurrence matrix. The extracted features were used as an input into the classifier, support vector machine (SVM). The classification results were evaluated based on classification accuracies and number of false positives and false negatives. The results indicated that the SVM could classify HLB-infected leaf fluorescence intensities with up to 90% classification accuracy. Though the fluorescence intensities from leaves collected in Brazil and the USA were different, the method shows potential for detecting HLB.

Abstract. In this study, computer vision was used for the identification and classification of fungi on moldy paddy. To develop a rapid and efficient method for the classification of common fungal species found in stored paddy, computer vision was used to acquire images of individual colonies of growing fungi for three consecutive days. After image processing, the color, shape, and texture features were acquired and used in a subsequent discriminant analysis. Both linear (i.e., linear discriminant analysis and partial least squares discriminant analysis) and nonlinear (i.e., random forest and support vector machine [SVM]) pattern recognition models were employed for the classification of fungal colonies, and the results were compared. The results indicate that when using all of the features for three consecutive days, the performance of the nonlinear tools was superior to that of the linear tools, especially in the case of the SVM models, which achieved an accuracy of 100% on the calibration sets and an accuracy of 93.2% to 97.6% on the prediction sets. After sequential selection of projection algorithm, ten common features were selected for building the classification models. The results showed that the SVM model achieved an overall accuracy of 95.6%, 98.3%, and 99.0% on the prediction sets on days 2, 3, and 4, respectively. This work demonstrated that computer vision with several features is suitable for the identification and classification of fungi on moldy paddy based on the form of the individual colonies at an early growth stage during paddy storage.

A framework for automated detection and classification of cancer from microscopic biopsy images using clinically significant and biologically interpretable features is proposed and examined. The various stages involved in the proposed methodology include enhancement of microscopic images, segmentation of background cells, features extraction, and finally the classification. An appropriate and efficient method is employed in each of the design steps of the proposed framework after making a comparative analysis of commonly used method in each category. For highlighting the details of the tissue and structures, the contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization approach is used. For the segmentation of background cells, k-means segmentation algorithm is used because it performs better in comparison to other commonly used segmentation methods. In feature extraction phase, it is proposed to extract various biologically interpretable and clinically significant shapes as well as morphology based features from the segmented images. These include gray level texture features, color based features, color gray level texture features, Law’s Texture Energy based features, Tamura’s features, and wavelet features. Finally, the K-nearest neighborhood method is used for classification of images into normal and cancerous categories because it is performing better in comparison to other commonly used methods for this application. The performance of the proposed framework is evaluated using well-known parameters for four fundamental tissues (connective, epithelial, muscular, and nervous) of randomly selected 1000 microscopic biopsy images.

Fruit Disease

Diseases in fruit cause devastating problems in economic losses and production in the agricultural industry worldwide. In this chapter, a method to detect and classify fruit diseases automatically is proposed and experimentally validated. The image processing-based proposed approach is composed of the following main steps: in the first step K-Means clustering technique is used for the defect segmentation, in the second step some color and texture features are extracted from the segmented defected part, and finally diseases are classified into one of the classes by using a multi-class Support Vector Machine. The authors have considered diseases of apple as a test case and evaluated the approach for three types of apple diseases, namely apple scab, apple blotch, and apple rot, along with normal apples. The experimental results express that the proposed solution can significantly support accurate detection and automatic classification of fruit diseases. The classification accuracy for the proposed approach is achieved up to 93% using textural information and multi-class support vector machine.

Computed tomography images are widely used in the diagnosis of ischemic stroke because of its faster acquisition and compatibility with most life support devices. This chapter presents a new approach to automated detection of ischemic stroke using k-means clustering technique which separates the lesion region from healthy tissues and classification of ischemic stroke using texture features. The proposed method has five stages, pre-processing, tracing midline of the brain, extraction of texture features and feature selection, classification and segmentation. In the first stage noise is suppressed using a median filtering and skull bone components of the images are removed. In the second stage, midline shift of the brain is calculated. In the third stage, fourteen texture features are extracted and optimal features are selected using genetic algorithm. In the fourth stage, support vector machine, artificial neural network and decision tree classifiers have been used. Finally, the ischemic stroke region is extracted by using k-means clustering technique.

In this paper, we focus on developing a novel method to extract sea ice cover (i.e., discrimination/classification of sea ice and open water) using Sentinel-1 (S1) cross-polarization (vertical-horizontal, VH or horizontal-vertical, HV) data in extra wide (EW) swath mode based on the machine learning algorithm support vector machine (SVM). The classification basis includes the S1 radar backscatter coefficients and texture features that are calculated from S1 data using the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). Different from previous methods where appropriate samples are manually selected to train the SVM to classify sea ice and open water, we proposed a method of unsupervised generation of the training samples based on two GLCM texture features, i.e. entropy and homogeneity, that have contrasting characteristics on sea ice and open water. We eliminate the most uncertainty of selecting training samples in machine learning and achieve automatic classification of sea ice and open water by using S1 EW data. The comparison shows good agreement between the SAR-derived sea ice cover using the proposed method and a visual inspection, of which the accuracy reaches approximately 90% - 95% based on a few cases. Besides this, compared with the analyzed sea ice cover data Ice Mapping System (IMS) based on 728 S1 EW images, the accuracy of extracted sea ice cover by using S1 data is more than 80%.

Abstract We propose a classification method using the radiomics features of CT chest images to identify patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and other pneumonias. The chest CT images of two groups of participants (90 COVID-19 patients and 90 other pneumonias patients) were collected, and the two groups of data were manually drawn to outline the region of interest (ROI) of pneumonias. The radiomics method was used to extract textural features and histogram features of the ROI and obtain a radiomics features vector from each sample. Finally, using the radiomics features as an input, a support vector machine (SVM) model was constructed to classify patients with COVID-19 and patients with other pneumonias. This model used 20 rounds of 10-fold cross-validation for training and testing. In the COVID-19 patients, correlation analysis (multiple comparison correction—Bonferroni correction, p<0.05/7) was also conducted to determine whether the textural and histogram features were correlated with the laboratory test index of blood, i.e., blood oxygen, white blood cell, lymphocytes, neutrophils, C-reactive protein, hypersensitive C-reactive protein, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The results showed that the proposed method had a classification accuracy as high as 88.33%, sensitivity of 83.56%, specificity of 93.11%, and an area under the curve of 0.947. This proved that the radiomics features were highly distinguishable, and this SVM model can effectively identify and diagnose patients with COVID-19 and other pneumonias. The correlation analysis results showed that some texture features were positively correlated with WBC, NE, and CRP and also negatively related to SPO2H and NE.

There are about 90 different varieties of chickpeas around the world. In Iran, where this study takes place, there are five species that are the most popular (Adel, Arman, Azad, Bevanij and Hashem), with different properties and prices. However, distinguishing them manually is difficult because they have very similar morphological characteristics. In this research, two different computer vision methods for the classification of the variety of chickpeas are proposed and compared. The images were captured with an industrial camera in Kermanshah, Iran. The first method is based on color and texture features extraction, followed by a selection of the most effective features, and classification with a hybrid of artificial neural networks and particle swarm optimization (ANN-PSO). The second method is not based on an explicit extraction of features; instead, image patches (RGB pixel values) are directly used as input for a three-layered backpropagation ANN. The first method achieved a correct classification rate (CCR) of 97.0%, while the second approach achieved a CCR of 99.3%. These results prove that visual classification of fruit varieties in agriculture can be done in a very precise way using a suitable method. Although both techniques are feasible, the second method is generic and more easily applicable to other types of crops, since it is not based on a set of given features.
