The Impact

Appropriate matching of rider–horse sizes is becoming an increasingly important issue of riding horses’ care, as the human population becomes heavier. Recently, infrared thermography (IRT) was considered to be effective in differing the effect of 10.6% and 21.3% of the rider:horse bodyweight ratio, but not 10.1% and 15.3%. As IRT images contain many pixels reflecting the complexity of the body’s surface, the pixel relations were assessed by image texture analysis using histogram statistics (HS), gray-level run-length matrix (GLRLM), and gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) approaches. The study aimed to determine differences in texture features of thermal images under the impact of 10–12%, >12 ≤15%, >15 <18% rider:horse bodyweight ratios, respectively. Twelve horses were ridden by each of six riders assigned to light (L), moderate (M), and heavy (H) groups. Thermal images were taken pre- and post-standard exercise and underwent conventional and texture analysis. Texture analysis required image decomposition into red, green, and blue components. Among 372 returned features, 95 HS features, 48 GLRLM features, and 96 GLCH features differed dependent on exercise; whereas 29 HS features, 16 GLRLM features, and 30 GLCH features differed dependent on bodyweight ratio. Contrary to conventional thermal features, the texture heterogeneity measures, InvDefMom, SumEntrp, Entropy, DifVarnc, and DifEntrp, expressed consistent measurable differences when the red component was considered.

Image Texture Analysis

The primary factors in determining beef quality grades are the amount and distribution of intramuscular fat percentage (IMFAT). Texture analysis was applied to ultrasound B-mode images from ribeye muscle of live beef cattle to predict its IMFAT. We used wavelet transform (WT) for multiresolutional texture analysis and second-order statistics using a gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) technique. Sets of WT-and GLCM-based texture features were calculated from ultrasonic images from 207 animals and linear regression methods were used for IMFAT prediction. WT-based features included energy ratios, central moments of wavelet-decomposed subimages and wavelet edge density. The regression model using WT features provided a root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.44 for prediction of IMFAT using validation images, while that of GLCM features provided an RMSE of 1.90. The prediction models using the WT features showed potential for objective quality evaluation in the live animals.

Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the relationships of image texture properties with chewing behaviors, and mechanical properties during mastication of bread. Gray-level gradient co-occurrence matrix (GGCM) was used to process the images of boluses. The chewing behaviors were recorded by electromyography (EMG), and the mechanical properties were measured by texture analyzer. The results showed that among the texture features, the inverse difference moment (IDMGGCM) was selected as the main parameter to describe the decomposition of boluses. IDMGGCM was positively related to the weight gain (r = 0.865, p < 0.01), negatively correlated with hardness (r = –0.835, p <0.01) and EMG activity per cycle (r = –0.767, p < 0.01). GGCM is an effective texture analysis method that could correctly identify 70.1–80.8 % of food bolus images to the corresponding chewing cycles. This study provided a new clue for texture analysis of bread bolus images and offered data revealing the bolus property changes during the mastication of bread.

The aim of this study is to identify the relationship between soil moisture content and its image texture. Soil image was captured and converted into CIELUV color space. These images were later used to develop two dimensional gray level co-occurrence matrix. Eight texture features extracted from gray level co-occurrence matrix namely mean, variance, homogeneity, dissimilarity, entropy, contrast, second moment and correlation was used for the analysis. The results has shown that the image texture properties can be used to relate with soil moisture content, where variance, homogeneity, dissimilarity, entropy, contrast, second moment and correlation gave significant responds to the moisture content. The highest value of correlation was gathered from entropy with r = -0.522.

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.

Gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) is a second-order statistical measure of image grayscale which reflects the comprehensive information of image grayscale in the direction, local neighborhood and magnitude of changes. Firstly, we analyze and reveal the generation process of gray level co-occurrence matrix from horizontal, vertical and principal and secondary diagonal directions. Secondly, we use Brodatz texture images as samples, and analyze the relationship between non-zero elements of gray level co-occurrence matrix in changes of both direction and distances of each pixels pair by. Finally, we explain its function of the analysis process of texture. This paper can provided certain referential significance in the application of using gray level co-occurrence matrix at quality evaluation of texture image.

Native starch derivatization with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) is a chemical modification designed to enhance flavor microencapsulation performance. Hi Cap 100 and Capsul are two OSA starches derived from waxy maize base, which are especially suited for encapsulation processes. This work performs for the first time the encapsulation of vanilla extract with Capsul and Hi Cap 100 using both spray and freeze drying procedures. The encapsulation efficiency was studied correlating the starch texture with the aroma retention. Texture analysis was accomplished by means of grey level co-occurrence matrix feature extraction (GLCM), yielding image parameters that clearly differ in function of the type of starch and the drying method used for the encapsulation of the flavor. In parallel, the data recorded with a gas sensor array (e-nose) and analyzed by unsupervised multivariate methods allowed to follow up the evolution of the aroma through the whole process. The joint analysis of the GLCM and sensor array recorded data indicates that Capsul shows a higher capacity for vanilla encapsulation than Hi Cap 100. In addition, the obtained converging information from GLCM and e-nose data clearly indicates that particle texture and aroma encapsulation are connected.

To improve the ability of ultrasound to distinguish benign from malignant breast lesions, we used quantitative analysis of ultrasound image texture. Eight cancers, 22 cysts, 28 fibroadenomata, and 22 fibrocystic nodules were studied. The true nature of each lesion was determined by aspiration (for some cysts) or by open biopsy. Analysis of image texture was performed on digitized video output from the ultrasound scanner using fractal analysis and statistical texture analysis methods. The most useful features were those derived from co-occurrence matrices of the images. Using two features together (contrast of a co-occurrence matrix taken in an oblique direction, and correlation of a co-occurrence matrix taken in the horizontal direction), it was possible to exclude 78% of fibroadenomata, 73% of cysts, and 91% of fibrocystic nodules while maintaining 100% sensitivity for cancer. These findings suggest that ultrasonic image texture analysis is a simple way to markedly reduce the number of benign lesion biopsies without missing additional cancers.

This paper uses partial differential equation image processing techniques to establish image texture analysis models based on nonlinear anisotropic diffusion equations for image denoising, image segmentation, and image decomposition. This paper proposes a class of denoising models based on the hybrid anisotropic diffusion equation from the characteristics of different noise types. The model exhibits anisotropic diffusion near the image boundary, which can protect the boundary well, and isotropic diffusion inside the image; so, it can remove the noise effectively. We use the immovable point theory to prove the uniqueness of the model solution and further discuss other properties such as asymptotics of the solution. We propose a class of image texture analysis algorithms based on anisotropic diffusion equations and discrete gray level sets. First, a class of nonconvex generalized functions is proposed to remove the noise from the original image to obtain a smooth image while sharpening the edges. Then, an energy generalization function based on the gray level set is proposed, and the existence of the global minimum of this energy generalization function is discussed. Finally, an equivalent form of this energy generalization is given in the discrete case, and an image texture analysis algorithm is designed based on the equivalent form. The algorithm is improved by initial position optimization, dynamic adjustment of parameters, and adaptive selection of thresholds so that the ants can search along the real edges. Experiments show that the improved algorithm for image edge detection can obtain more complete edges and better detection results. The energy generalization function is calculated directly on the discrete gray level set instead of solving the corresponding partial differential equation, which can avoid the selection of the initial level set and the reinitialization of the level set, thus greatly improving the segmentation efficiency. The new algorithm has a high improvement in segmentation efficiency and can efficiently handle large size complex images.

Purpose: To explore the feasibility of classifying hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and hepatic hemangioma (HEM) using texture features of non-enhanced computed tomography (CT) images, especially to investigate the effectiveness of a novel texture analysis method based on the combination of wavelet and co-occurrence matrix. Methods: 269 patients were retrospectively analyzed, including 129 HCCs and 140 HEMs. We cropped tumor regions of interest (ROIs) on non-enhanced CT images, and then used four texture analysis methods to extract quantitative data of the ROIs: gray-level histogram (GLH), gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), reverse biorthogonal wavelet transform (RBWT), and reverse biorthogonal wavelet co-occurrence matrix (RBCM). The RBCM was a novel method proposed in this study that combined wavelet transform and co-occurrence matrix. It discretized wavelet coefficient matrices based on the statistical characteristics of the training set. Thus, four sets of texture features were obtained. We then conducted classification studies using support vector machine on each set of texture features. 10-fold cross training and testing were used in the classifications, and their results were evaluated and compared. In addition, we tested the significant differences in the texture features of the RBCM method and explored the possible relationships between textures and lesion types. Results: The RBCM method achieved the best classification performance: its average accuracy was 82.14%; its average AUC (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve) was 0.8423. In addition, using the methods of GLH, GLCM, and RBWT, their average accuracies were 75.81%, 78.79%, and 78.8%, respectively. Conclusions: It indicates that the developed texture analysis methods are rewarding for computer-aided diagnosis of HCC and HEM based on non-enhanced CT images. Furthermore, the distinguishing ability of the proposed RBCM method is more pronounced.
