Abstract Mechanical properties of internal curing concrete are greatly affected by its physical properties such as water content, cementing material content, porosity, and saturation. At the micro level, such impact is finally reflected in the surface texture of its materials. In this study, the image recognition technology was used to find that the internal curing concrete samples have significant micromorphology and texture features. A texture parameter–strength model was established based on the relationship between Tamura texture parameters, gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) texture parameters, and the mechanical strength. Due to the characteristics of materials and the sensitivity of parameters, not all Tamura and GLCM texture parameters can effectively characterize the texture features of internal curing concrete materials. In terms of the Tamura texture, coarseness, regularity, and directionality are effective parameters to predict the compressive strength of the internal curing concrete. In terms of the GLCM texture, energy, correlation, entropy, and contrast are effective parameters to predict the compressive strength of the internal curing concrete. Correlations between each texture parameter and compressive strength follow different laws.

AbstractTexture features have played an essential role in the field of medical imaging for computer-aided diagnosis. The gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM)-based texture descriptor has emerged to become one of the most successful feature sets for these applications. This study aims to increase the potential of these features by introducing multi-scale analysis into the construction of GLCM texture descriptor. In this study, we first introduce a new parameter - stride, to explore the definition of GLCM. Then we propose three multi-scaling GLCM models according to its three parameters, (1) learning model by multiple displacements, (2) learning model by multiple strides (LMS), and (3) learning model by multiple angles. These models increase the texture information by introducing more texture patterns and mitigate direction sparsity and dense sampling problems presented in the traditional Haralick model. To further analyze the three parameters, we test the three models by performing classification on a dataset of 63 large polyp masses obtained from computed tomography colonoscopy consisting of 32 adenocarcinomas and 31 benign adenomas. Finally, the proposed methods are compared to several typical GLCM-texture descriptors and one deep learning model. LMS obtains the highest performance and enhances the prediction power to 0.9450 with standard deviation 0.0285 by area under the curve of receiver operating characteristics score which is a significant improvement.

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.

This paper firstly studies the texture features. We construct a gray-difference primitive co-occurrence matrix to extract texture features by combining statistical methods with structural ones. The experiment results show that the features of the gray-difference primitive co-occurrence matrix are more delicate than the traditional gray co-occurrence matrix.

Abstract Background The classification of Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System 4A (BI-RADS 4A) lesions is mostly based on the personal experience of doctors and lacks specific and clear classification standards. The development of artificial intelligence (AI) provides a new method for BI-RADS categorisation. We analysed the ultrasonic morphological and texture characteristics of BI-RADS 4A benign and malignant lesions using AI, and these ultrasonic characteristics of BI-RADS 4A benign and malignant lesions were compared to examine the value of AI in the differential diagnosis of BI-RADS 4A benign and malignant lesions. Methods A total of 206 lesions of BI-RADS 4A examined using ultrasonography were analysed retrospectively, including 174 benign lesions and 32 malignant lesions. All of the lesions were contoured manually, and the ultrasonic morphological and texture features of the lesions, such as circularity, height-to-width ratio, margin spicules, margin coarseness, margin indistinctness, margin lobulation, energy, entropy, grey mean, internal calcification and angle between the long axis of the lesion and skin, were calculated using grey level gradient co-occurrence matrix analysis. Differences between benign and malignant lesions of BI-RADS 4A were analysed. Results Significant differences in margin lobulation, entropy, internal calcification and ALS were noted between the benign group and malignant group (P = 0.013, 0.045, 0.045, and 0.002, respectively). The malignant group had more margin lobulations and lower entropy compared with the benign group, and the benign group had more internal calcifications and a greater angle between the long axis of the lesion and skin compared with the malignant group. No significant differences in circularity, height-to-width ratio, margin spicules, margin coarseness, margin indistinctness, energy, and grey mean were noted between benign and malignant lesions. Conclusions Compared with the naked eye, AI can reveal more subtle differences between benign and malignant BI-RADS 4A lesions. These results remind us carefully observation of the margin and the internal echo is of great significance. With the help of morphological and texture information provided by AI, doctors can make a more accurate judgment on such atypical benign and malignant lesions.


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.

This article discusses the use of texture analysis methods to obtain informative features that describe the texture of liver ultrasound images. In total, 317 liver ultrasound images were analyzed, which were provided by the Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Radiation Diagnostics of NAMS of Ukraine. The images were taken by three different sensors (convex, linear, and linear sensor in increased signal level mode). Both images of patients with a normal liver condition and patients with specific liver disease (there were diseases such as: autoimmune hepatitis, Wilson's disease, hepatitis B and C, steatosis, and cirrhosis) were present in the database. Texture analysis was used for “Feature Construction”, which resulted in more than a hundred different informative features that made up a common stack. Among them, there are such features as: three authors’ patented features derived from the grey level co-occurrence matrix; features, obtained with the help of spatial sweep method (working by the principle of group method of data handling), which was applied to ultrasound images; statistical features, calculated on the images, brought to one scale with the help of differential horizontal and vertical matrices, which are proposed by the authors; greyscale pairs ensembles (found using the genetic algorithm), which identify liver pathology on images, transformed with the help of horizontal and vertical differentiations, in the best possible way. The resulting trait stack was used to solve the problem of binary classification (“norma-pathology”) of ultrasound liver images. A Machine Learning method, namely “Random Forest”, was used for this purpose. Before the classification, in order to obtain objective results, the total samples were divided into training (70 %), testing (20 %), and examining (10 %). The result was the best three Random Forest models separately for each sensor, which gave the following recognition rates: 93.4 % for the convex sensor, 92.9 % for the linear sensor, and 92 % for the reinforced linear sensor

Abstract — Fruit recognition can be automatically applied to the field of education, industry, sales, as well as science. In the vision of computer recognition of fruit relies on four basic features that describe the characteristics of the fruit, i.e., size, color, shape, and texture. The fruit recognition through the RGB image results of cameras using the features of shape and size are not reliable and effective, because in a real data image can be composed of several different sizes of fruit on each type of fruit so it can't be identified morphologically the fruit size and uniformity that can affect the results of the classification. This journal based on the feature recognition method of building colors and textures for the classification of fruit.The classification is done by K-Nearest Neighbor based on color and texture features co-occurrence. Experimental results of 1882 dataset image of fruit for 12 different classes can recognize the fruit in both color and texture features based with the highest accuracy of 92%.

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.
