Objectives: Accurate assessment of radiological images can help in early diagnosis and therapy of suppurative osteomyelitis (OM). The purpose of this study was to apply texture analysis to MRI as a means of quantitatively evaluating acute OM of the mandible. Methods: We analyzed the data from 38 patients who complained of pain and underwent MRI between April 2017 and March 2019. From the MRIs of these patients, with (n = 19) and without OM (n = 19), 279 radiomics features were extracted using short tau inversion recovery, data of the regions of interest and analyzed with MaZda v. 3.3. 10 features, including one histogram feature (90th percentile), eight gray-level co-occurrence matrix features (Sum Averg), and one gray-level run-length matrix feature (Horzl_RLNonUni), were selected using Fisher coefficient and compared between the acute OM and non-OM groups. The two groups were compared using Mann–Whitney U test with p value set at 0.05. Results: All 10 radiomics features showed significant differences between the acute OM and non-OM groups (p < 0.05). Conclusions: MRI texture analysis has potential application in radiomics diagnosis of acute OM of the mandible.

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.

Analisa tekstur adalah satu sifat penting untuk mengenal pasti permukaan dan objek daripada imej perubatan dan pelbagai imej lain. Penyelidikan ini telah membangunkan sebuah algoritma untuk menganalisa tekstur dengan menggunakan imej perubatan dari echocardiography untuk mengenal pasti jantung yang disyaki mengalami myocardial infarction. Di sini penggabungan daripada teknik wavelet extension transform dan teknik gray level co–occurrence matrix adalah dicadangkan. Di dalam penyelidikan ini wavelet extension transform digunakan untuk menghasilkan sebuah imej hampiran yang mempunyai resolusi yang lebih besar. Gray level co–occurrence matrix yang dihitung untuk setiap sub–band digunakan untuk mencirikan empat sifat vektor: entropy, contrast, energy (angular second moment) dan homogeneity (invers difference moment). Pengklasifikasian yang digunakan di dalam penyelidikan ini adalah pengklasifikasian Mahalanobis distance. Kaedah yang telah dicadangkan diuji dengan data klinikal dari imej echocardiography untuk 17 orang pesakit. Untuk setiap pesakit, contoh tisu diambil daripada kawasan yang disyaki infarcted dan kawasan non–infarcted (normal). Untuk setiap pesakit, 8 bingkai imej yang dipisahkan oleh sela waktu tertentu di mana 5 kawasan normal dan 5 kawasan disyaki myocardial infarction berukuran 16×16 piksel akan dianalisa. Hasil pengklasifikasian telah dicapai dengan ketepatan 91.32%. Kata kunci: Analisa tekstur, wavelet extension, co–occurrence matrix, myocardial infarction, sifat vektor Texture analysis is an important characteristic for surface and object identification from medical images and many other types of images. This research has developed an algorithm for texture analysis using medical images do trained from echocardiography in identifying heart with suspected myocardial infarction problem. A set of combination of wavelet extension transform with gray level co–occurrence matrix is proposed. In this work, wavelet extension transform is used to form an image approximation with higher resolution. The gray level co–occurrence matrices computed for each subband are used to extract four feature vectors: entropy, contrast, energy (angular second moment) and homogeneity (inverse difference moment). The classifier used in this work is the Mahalanobis distance classifier. The method is tested with clinical data from echocardiography images of 17 patients. For each patient, tissue samples are taken from suspected infarcted area as well as from non–infarcted (normal) area. For each patient, 8 frames separated by some time interval are used and for each frame, 5 normal regions and 5 suspected myocardial infarction regions of 16×16 pixel size are analyzed. The classification performance achieved 91.32% accuracy. Key words: Texture analysis, wavelet extension, co–occurrence matrix, myocardial infarction, feature vector

Texture surface analysis is very important for machine vision system. We explore Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix-based 2ndorder statistical features to understand image texture surface. We employed several features on our ground-truth dataset to understand its nature; and later employed it in a building dataset. Based on our experimental results, we can conclude that these image features can be useful for texture analysis and related fields.

Prostate cancer is classified into different stages, each stage is related to a different Gleason score. The labeling of a diagnosed prostate cancer is a task usually performed by radiologists. In this paper we propose a deep architecture, based on several convolutional layers, aimed to automatically assign the Gleason score to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) under analysis. We exploit a set of 71 radiomic features belonging to five categories: First Order, Shape, Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix, Gray Level Run Length Matrix and Gray Level Size Zone Matrix. The radiomic features are gathered directly from segmented MRIs using two free-available dataset for research purpose obtained from different institutions. The results, obtained in terms of accuracy, are promising: they are ranging between 0.96 and 0.98 for Gleason score prediction.

The paper presents analysis of granular gravitational flow based on radiography images processing. The investigations were conducted for silo model geometry with concentric/eccentric discharging modes. The continuous X-ray radiography scans of granular material distribution, acquired during flow, were obtained by means of an especially designed model silo with rectangular bin and different settings of hopper angles. Image processing involved texture analysis methods, the Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM). The texture analysis of radiography images provides information about changes of granular porosity in different silo zones during silo discharging process. This technique allows to divide the silo space into a number homogenous regions with similar porosity level. The proposed methodology was applied to analyse the flow in silo model with various hopper angles.
