Skin diseases have a serious impact on people’s life and health. Current research proposes an efficient approach to identify singular type of skin diseases. It is necessary to develop automatic methods in order to increase the accuracy of diagnosis for multitype skin diseases. In this paper, three type skin diseases such as herpes, dermatitis, and psoriasis skin disease could be identified by a new recognition method. Initially, skin images were preprocessed to remove noise and irrelevant background by filtering and transformation. Then the method of grey-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) was introduced to segment images of skin disease. The texture and color features of different skin disease images could be obtained accurately. Finally, by using the support vector machine (SVM) classification method, three types of skin diseases were identified. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.

Nipple is a vital landmark in the breast lesion diagnosis. Although there are advanced computer-aided detection (CADe) systems for nipple detection in breast mediolateral oblique (MLO) views of mammogram images, few academic works address the coronal views of breast ultrasound (BUS) images. This paper addresses a novel CADe system to locate the Nipple Shadow Area (NSA) in ultrasound images. Here the Hu Moments and Gray-level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) were calculated through an iterative sliding window for the extraction of shape and texture features. These features are then concatenated and fed into an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to obtain probable NSA’s. Later, contour features, such as shape complexity through fractal dimension, edge distance from the periphery and contour area, were computed and passed into a Support Vector Machine (SVM) to identify the accurate NSA in each case. The coronal plane BUS dataset is built upon our own, which consists of 64 images from 13 patients. The test results show that the proposed CADe system achieves 91.99% accuracy, 97.55% specificity, 82.46% sensitivity and 88% F-score on our dataset.


The higher levels of blood glucose most often causes a metabolic disorder commonly called as Diabetes, scientifically as Diabetes Mellitus. A consequence of this is a major loss of vision and in long terms may eventually cause complete blindness. It initiates with swelling on blood vessels, formation of microaneurysms at the end of narrow capillaries. Haemorrhages due to rupture of small vessels and fluid leak causes exudates. The specialist examines it to diagnose and gives proper treatment. Fundus images are the fundamental tool for proper diagnosis of patients by medical experts. In this research work the fundus images are taken for processing, the neural network and support vector machine are trained for the proposed model. The features are extracted from the diabetic retinopathy image by using texture based algorithms such as Gabor, Local binary pattern and Gray level co-occurrence matrix for rating the level of diabetic retinopathy. The performance of all methods is calculated based on accuracy, precision, Recall and f-measure.

Copy-move forgery (CMF) is an established process to copy an image segment and pastes it within the same image to hide or duplicate a portion of the image. Several CMF detection techniques are available; however, better detection accuracy with low feature vector is always substantial. For this, differential excitation component (DEC) of Weber Law descriptor in combination with the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) approach of texture feature extraction for CMFD is proposed. GLCM Texture features are computed in four directions on DEC and this acts as a feature vector for support vector machine classifier. These texture features are more distinguishable and it is validated through other two proposed methods based on discrete wavelet transform-GLCM (DWT-GLCM) and GLCM. Experimentation is carried out on CoMoFoD and CASIA databases to validate the efficacy of proposed methods. Proposed methods exhibit resilience against many post-processing attacks. Comparative analysis with existing methods shows the superiority of the proposed method (DEC-GLCM) with regard to detection accuracy.

Breast cancer is one among the most common cancers in women. The early detection of breast cancer reduces the risk of death. Mammograms are an efficient breast imaging technique for breast cancer screening. Computer aided diagnosis (CAD) systems reduce manual errors and helps radiologists to analyze the mammogram images. The mammogram images are typically in two views, cranial-caudal (CC) and medio lateral oblique (MLO) views. MLO contains pectoral muscles (chest muscles) at the upper right or left corner of the image. In this study, it was removed by using a semi-automated method. All the normal and abnormal images were filtered and enhanced to improve the quality. GLCM (Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix) texture features were extracted and analyzed by changing the number of features in a feature set. Linear Support Vector Machine (LSVM) was used as classifier. The classification accuracy was improved as the number of features in GLCM feature set increases. Simulation results show an overall classification accuracy of 96.7% with 19 GLCM features using SVM classifiers.

Having a system that classifies different types of fruits and identifies the quality of fruits will be of a value in various areas especially in an area of mass production of fruits’ products. This paper presents a novel system that differentiates between four fruits types and identifies the decayed ones from the fresh. The algorithms used are based on the colour and the texture features of the fruits’ images. The algorithms extract the RGB values and the first statistical order and second statistical of the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) values. To segregate between the fruits’ types, Fine, Medium, Coarse, Cosine, Cubic, and Weighted K-Nearest Neighbors algorithms are applied. The accuracy percentages of each are 96.3%, 93.8%, 25%, 83.8%, 90%, and 95% respectively.  These steps are tested with 46 pictures taken from a mobile phone of seasonal fruits at the time i.e., banana, apple, and strawberry. All types were accurately identifying.  To tell apart the decayed fruits from the fresh, the linear and quadratic Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms differentiated between them based on the colour segmentation and the texture feature algorithms values of each fruit image. The accuracy of the linear SVM is 96% and quadratic SVM 98%.

The fibrous texture in liver is one of important signs for interpreting the chronic liver diseases in radiologists’ routines. In order to investigate the usefulness of various texture features calculated by computer algorithm on hepatic magnetic resonance (MR) images, 15 texture features were calculated from the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) within a region of interest (ROI) which was selected from the MR images with 6 stages of hepatic fibrosis. By different combination of 15 features as input vectors, the classifier had different performance in staging the hepatic fibrosis. Each combination of texture features was tested by Support Vector Machine (SVM) with leave one case out method. 173 patients’ MR images including 6 stages of hepatic fibrosis were scanned within recent two years. The result showed that optimal number of features was confirmed from 3 to 7 by investigating the classified accuracy rate between each stage/group. It is evident that angular second moment, entropy, sum average and sum entropy played the most significant role in classification.

Patchouli (Pogostemon Cablin Bent) has higher PA (Patchouli Alcohol) and oil production if grown in soil containing 75% organic matter. One way that can be used to detect the content of organic matter is to use soil images. The problem in the use of soil images is the color of the soil that is almost similar, namely the gradation between dark brown to black. Therefore, color features are not enough to be used as input in the recognition process. For this purposes, texture features are added in this study in addition to color features. The color features are extracted using color moment and the texture features are extracted using Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). These feature was then chosen to get the best combination as input in the identification process using the Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN). The system identifies the quantity of soil organic matter into five classes, namely very low, low, medium, high, and very high. The highest accuracy result obtained was 73% and MSE value 0.5122 by using five GLCM features (Angular Second Moment, contrast, correlation, Inverse Difference Moment, and entropy). This result was obtained by using the BPNN parameter, namely learning rate values 0.5, maximum iteration values of 1000, number training data 210, and total test data 12.

Cotton is one of the major crops in India, where 23% of cotton gets exported to other countries. The cotton yield depends on crop growth, and it gets affected by diseases. In this paper, cotton disease classification is performed using different machine learning algorithms. For this research, the cotton leaf image database was used to segment the images from the natural background using modified factorization-based active contour method. First, the color and texture features are extracted from segmented images. Later, it has to be fed to the machine learning algorithms such as multilayer perceptron, support vector machine, Naïve Bayes, Random Forest, AdaBoost, and K-nearest neighbor. Four color features and eight texture features were extracted, and experimentation was done using three cases: (1) only color features, (2) only texture features, and (3) both color and texture features. The performance of classifiers was better when color features are extracted compared to texture feature extraction. The color features are enough to classify the healthy and unhealthy cotton leaf images. The performance of the classifiers was evaluated using performance parameters such as precision, recall, F-measure, and Matthews correlation coefficient. The accuracies of classifiers such as support vector machine, Naïve Bayes, Random Forest, AdaBoost, and K-nearest neighbor are 93.38%, 90.91%, 95.86%, 92.56%, and 94.21%, respectively, whereas that of the multilayer perceptron classifier is 96.69%.

<p>Baekdu Mountain is a 2,744 m high stratovolcano, located on the border of China and North Korea. The mountain has a caldera lake, Lake Cheonji, as a result of past volcanic activity. The ice area changes during winter in Lake Cheonji could act as a proxy for volcanic activity monitoring in Baekdu. As Baekdu laid on a political border, remote sensing allows us to quantify attributes of otherwise inaccessible or dangerous places. We assessed changes in winter (October–April) ice area in a high-altitude groundwater-fed caldera lake using Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data acquired from 2015 to 2020. To calculate the ice-covered area, 10 gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) texture features were computed from SAR images obtained with VH (vertical transmission and horizontal reception) and VV (vertical transmission and vertical reception) polarizations. A support vector machine (SVM) algorithm was used to classify ice and water pixels from the GLCM layers, and the results from VH and VV imagery were combined to calculate the total area covered by ice. We examined the relationship between ice area and air temperature from the closest weather station, Samjiyeon using fixed period regression. The ice area was inversely proportional to 30-day averaged air temperature and these variables were highly correlated (-0.86). Our results show that there were no significant ice changes during the period, which indicates that there was no significant volcanic activity in Baekdu Mountain during the winters of 2015–2020. This study is expected to be useful for a better understanding of whether and how ice area changes in volcano lakes aid in eruption forecasting.</p>
