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.

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.

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.

Abstract A dilemma in treating glioblastoma is that MRI after chemotherapy and radiation therapy (chemoRT) shows areas of presumed tumor growth in up to 50% of patients. These areas can represent true progression (TP), tumor growth with tumors non-responsive to treatment, or pseudoprogression (PP), edema and tumor necrosis with favorable treatment response. On imaging, TP and PP are usually not discernable. Patients in this study undergo six weeks of chemoRT on a combination MRI/RT device, receiving daily MRIs. The goal of this study is to explore the correlation of radiomics features with progression. The tumor lesion and surrounding areas of growth/edema were manually outlined as regions of interest (ROIs) for each daily T2-weighted MRI scan. The ROIs were used to calculate texture features: statistical features based on the gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), the gray-level zone size matrix (GLZSM), the gray-level run length matrix (GLRLM), and the neighborhood gray-tone difference matrix (NGTDM). Each of these matrix classes describe the probability of spatial relationships of gray levels occurring within the ROI. Daily texture features were averaged per week of treatment for each patient. Patient response was retrospectively defined as no progression (NP), TP, or PP. A Kruskal-Wallis test was performed to identify texture features that correlated most strongly with patient response. Forty texture features were calculated for 12 patients (19 treated, 7 excluded due to no T2 lesion or progression status unknown, 6 NP, 3 TP, 3 PP). There was a trend of more texture features correlating significantly with response in weeks 4-6 of treatment, compared to weeks 1-3. A particular texture feature, GLSZM Small Zone Low Gray-Level Emphasis, showed increasing difference between PP and TP over time, with significant difference during week 6 of treatment (p=0.0495). Future directions include correlating early outcomes with greater numbers of patients and daily multiparametric MRI.

Melanosis coli (MC) is a disease related to long-term use of anthranoid laxative agents. Patients with clinical constipation or obesity are more likely to use these drugs for long periods. Moreover, patients with MC are more likely to develop polyps, particularly adenomatous polyps. Adenomatous polyps can transform to colorectal cancer. Recognizing multiple polyps from MC is challenging due to their heterogeneity. Therefore, this study proposed a quantitative assessment of MC colonic mucosa with texture patterns. In total, the MC colonoscopy images of 1092 person-times were included in this study. At the beginning, the correlations among carcinoembryonic antigens, polyp texture, and pathology were analyzed. Then, 181 patients with MC were extracted for further analysis while patients having unclear images were excluded. By gray-level co-occurrence matrix, texture patterns in the colorectal images were extracted. Pearson correlation analysis indicated five texture features were significantly correlated with pathological results (p < 0.001). This result should be used in the future to design an instant help software to help the physician. The information of colonoscopy and image analystic data can provide clinicians with suggestions for assessing patients with MC.

Grinding is the mostly leading machining technology for engineering ceramics. The quality of ground surface can be evaluated by various roughness parameters. And a textural analysis method based on Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix was employed in researching the roughness of ground ceramics. The relationship between texture features and roughness was investigated through a series of surface images of engineering ceramics collected by a digital microscope. The sampling offset and total gray levels of surface images were determined firstly. Then 4 GLCMs were built up to calculate the average of texture features. And 6 parameters were fixed as main texture parameters. Furthermore, the multiple nonlinear regression theory was used to assess the relation between the texture features and roughness Ra. By statistic test and comparison, the deviation of calculated Ra and actual Ra is less than 0.25. It is shown that this relation is much satisfactory and the method may be suitable for quickly measuring the roughness of ground ceramics.

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.

This paper discusses the computer-aided (CAD) classification between Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), i.e., the most common type of liver cancer, and Liver Abscess, based on ultrasound image texture features and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. Among 79 cases of liver diseases, with 44 cases of HCC and 35 cases of liver abscess, this research extracts 96 features of Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and Gray-Level Run-Length Matrix (GLRLM) from the region of interests (ROIs) in ultrasound images. Three feature selection models, i) Sequential Forward Selection, ii) Sequential Backward Selection, and iii) F-score, are adopted to determine the identification of these liver diseases. Finally, the developed system can classify HCC and liver abscess by SVM with the accuracy of 88.875%. The proposed methods can provide diagnostic assistance while distinguishing two kinds of liver diseases by using a CAD system.


This work contributes multi object detection and dynamic query image based retrieval system. Generally, finding relevance and matching user expectations is very critical based on query key information and these results irrelevant responses which will produce low similarity index. Consequently, CBIR system took a major responsibility of identifying new objects, retrieving similar objects or contents based on multi query and dynamic keywords with improved recall and precision as per requirement of the users. At this juncture, Discrete Curvelet Transform with the incorporation of HOG and HTF based approach is proposed to handle commercial image, medical images and types of multi model images. This proposed approach mainly focuses on extracting scaled features for finding correlation among the query and database images. To start with the process, query image is decomposed into multi level sub images to extract set of texture features at two levels. These features are estimated by Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and HOG descriptor based techniques is adapted to find scaled vectors with reduced dimensionality. This method outperform compared as compared to existing method is authenticated from experimental results.

Texture feature is a measure method about relationship among the pixels in local area, reflecting the changes of image space gray levels. This paper presents a texture feature extraction method based on regional average binary gray level difference co-occurrence matrix, which combined the texture structural analysis method with statistical method. Firstly, we calculate the average binary gray level difference of eight-neighbors of a pixel to get the average binary gray level difference image which expresses the variation pattern of the regional gray levels. Secondly, the regional co-occurrence matrix is constructed by using these average binary gray level differences. Finally, we extract the second-order statistic parameters reflecting the image texture feature from the regional co-occurrence matrix. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the image texture feature extraction method has certain accuracy and validity
