Identification of prostatic calculi is an important basis for determining the tissue origin. Computation-assistant diagnosis of prostatic calculi may have promising potential but is currently still less studied. We studied the extraction of prostatic lumina and automated recognition for calculus images. Extraction of lumina from prostate histology images was based on local entropy and Otsu threshold recognition using PCA-SVM and based on the texture features of prostatic calculus. The SVM classifier showed an average time 0.1432 second, an average training accuracy of 100%, an average test accuracy of 93.12%, a sensitivity of 87.74%, and a specificity of 94.82%. We concluded that the algorithm, based on texture features and PCA-SVM, can recognize the concentric structure and visualized features easily. Therefore, this method is effective for the automated recognition of prostatic calculi.

Nodule Classification

Lung cancer is the most common cancer throughout the world and identification of malignant tumors at an early stage is needed for diagnosis and treatment of patient thus avoiding the progression to a later stage. In recent times, deep learning architectures such as CNN have shown promising results in effectively identifying malignant tumors in CT scans. In this paper, we combine the CNN features with texture features such as Haralick and Gray level run length matrix features to gather benefits of high level and spatial features extracted from the lung nodules to improve the accuracy of classification. These features are further classified using SVM classifier instead of softmax classifier in order to reduce the overfitting problem. Our model was validated on LUNA dataset and achieved an accuracy of 93.53%, sensitivity of 86.62%, the specificity of 96.55%, and positive predictive value of 94.02%.

Now-a-day's monitoring objects in a video is a major issue in areas such as airports, banks, military installations. Object identification and recognition are the two important tasks in such areas. These require scanning the entire video which is a time consuming process and hence requires a Robust method to detect and classify the objects. Outdoor environments are more challenging because of occlusion and large distance between camera and moving objects. Existing classification methods have proven to have set of limitations under different conditions. In the proposed system, video is divided into frames and Color features using RGB, HSV histograms, Structure features using HoG, DHoG, Harris, Prewitt, LoG operators and Texture features using LBP, Fourier and Wavelet transforms are extracted. Additionally BoV is used for improving the classification performance. Test results proved that SVM classifier works better compared to Bagging, Boosting, J48 classifiers and works well in outdoor environments.

Feature extraction of an urban area is one of the most important directions of polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) applications. A high-resolution PolSAR image has the characteristics of high dimensions and nonlinearity. Therefore, to find intrinsic features for target recognition, a building area extraction method for PolSAR images based on the Adaptive Neighborhoods selection Neighborhood Preserving Embedding (ANSNPE) algorithm is proposed. First, 52 features are extracted by using the Gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) and five polarization decomposition methods. The feature set is divided into 20 dimensions, 36 dimensions, and 52 dimensions. Next, the ANSNPE algorithm is applied to the training samples, and the projection matrix is obtained for the test image to extract the new features. Lastly, the Support Vector machine (SVM) classifier and post processing are used to extract the building area, and the accuracy is evaluated. Comparative experiments are conducted using Radarsat-2, and the results show that the ANSNPE algorithm could effectively extract the building area and that it had a better generalization ability; the projection matrix is obtained using the training data and could be directly applied to the new sample, and the building area extraction accuracy is above 80%. The combination of polarization and texture features provide a wealth of information that is more conducive to the extraction of building areas.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. Early detection of prostate cancer is the key to successful treatment. Ultrasound imaging is one of the most suitable methods for the early detection of prostate cancer. Although ultrasound images can show cancer lesions, subjective interpretation is not accurate. Therefore, this paper proposes a transrectal ultrasound image analysis method, aiming at characterizing prostate tissue through image processing to evaluate the possibility of malignant tumours. Firstly, the input image is preprocessed by optical density conversion. Then, local binarization and Gaussian Markov random fields are used to extract texture features, and the linear combination is performed. Finally, the fused texture features are provided to SVM classifier for classification. The method has been applied to data set of 342 transrectal ultrasound images obtained from hospitals with an accuracy of 70.93%, sensitivity of 70.00%, and specificity of 71.74%. The experimental results show that it is possible to distinguish cancerous tissues from noncancerous tissues to some extent.

The classification of benign and malignant based on ultrasound images is of great value because breast cancer is an enormous threat to women’s health worldwide. Although both texture and morphological features are crucial representations of ultrasound breast tumor images, their straightforward combination brings little effect for improving the classification of benign and malignant since high-dimensional texture features are too aggressive so that drown out the effect of low-dimensional morphological features. For that, an efficient texture and morphological feature combing method is proposed to improve the classification of benign and malignant. Firstly, both texture (i.e., local binary patterns (LBP), histogram of oriented gradients (HOG), and gray-level co-occurrence matrixes (GLCM)) and morphological (i.e., shape complexities) features of breast ultrasound images are extracted. Secondly, a support vector machine (SVM) classifier working on texture features is trained, and a naive Bayes (NB) classifier acting on morphological features is designed, in order to exert the discriminative power of texture features and morphological features, respectively. Thirdly, the classification scores of the two classifiers (i.e., SVM and NB) are weighted fused to obtain the final classification result. The low-dimensional nonparameterized NB classifier is effectively control the parameter complexity of the entire classification system combine with the high-dimensional parametric SVM classifier. Consequently, texture and morphological features are efficiently combined. Comprehensive experimental analyses are presented, and the proposed method obtains a 91.11% accuracy, a 94.34% sensitivity, and an 86.49% specificity, which outperforms many related benign and malignant breast tumor classification methods.

The formation of malignant neoplasm can be seen as deterioration of a pre-malignant skin neoplasm in its functionality and structure. Distinguishing melanocytic skin neoplasms is a challenging task due to their high visual similarity with different types of lesions and the intra-structural variants of melanocytic neoplasms. Besides, there is a high visual likeliness level between different lesion types with inhomogeneous features and fuzzy boundaries. The abnormal growth of melanocytic neoplasms takes various forms from uniform typical pigment network to irregular atypical shape, which can be described by border irregularity of melanocyte lesion image. This work proposes analytical reasoning for the human-observable phenomenon as a high-level feature to determine the neoplasm growth phase using a novel pixel-based feature space. The pixel-based feature space, which is comprised of high-level features and other color and texture features, are fed into the classifier to classify different melanocyte neoplasm phases. The proposed system was evaluated on the PH2 dermoscopic images benchmark dataset. It achieved an average accuracy of 95.1% using a support vector machine (SVM) classifier with the radial basis function (RBF) kernel. Furthermore, it reached an average Disc similarity coefficient (DSC) of 95.1%, an area under the curve (AUC) of 96.9%, and a sensitivity of 99%. The results of the proposed system outperform the results of other state-of-the-art multiclass techniques.

Aesthetic Evaluation

Image aesthetic evaluation refers to the subjective aesthetic evaluation of images. Computational aesthetics has been widely concerned due to the limitations of subjective evaluation. Aiming at the problem that the existing evaluation methods of image aesthetic quality only extract the low-level features of images and they have a low correlation with human subjective perception, this paper proposes an aesthetic evaluation model based on latent semantic features. The aesthetic features of images are extracted by superpixel segmentation that is based on weighted density POI (Point of Interest), which includes semantic features, texture features, and color features. These features are mapped to feature words by LLC (Locality-constrained Linear Coding) and, furthermore, latent semantic features are extracted using the LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation). Finally, the SVM classifier is used to establish the classification prediction model of image aesthetics. The experimental results on the AVA dataset show that the feature coding based on latent semantics proposed in this paper improves the adaptability of the image aesthetic prediction model, and the correlation with human subjective perception reaches 83.75%.

Query Image

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system generally retrieves images based on the matching of the query image from all the images of the database. This exhaustive matching and searching slow down the image retrieval process. In this paper, a fast and effective CBIR system is proposed which uses supervised learning-based image management and retrieval techniques. It utilizes machine learning approaches as a prior step for speeding up image retrieval in the large database. For the implementation of this, first, we extract statistical moments and the orthogonal-combination of local binary patterns (OC-LBP)-based computationally light weighted color and texture features. Further, using some ground truth annotation of images, we have trained the multi-class support vector machine (SVM) classifier. This classifier works as a manager and categorizes the remaining images into different libraries. However, at the query time, the same features are extracted and fed to the SVM classifier. SVM detects the class of query and searching is narrowed down to the corresponding library. This supervised model with weighted Euclidean Distance (ED) filters out maximum irrelevant images and speeds up the searching time. This work is evaluated and compared with the conventional model of the CBIR system on two benchmark databases, and it is found that the proposed work is significantly encouraging in terms of retrieval accuracy and response time for the same set of used features.

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 study aims at classifying flat ground tricks, namely Ollie, Kickflip, Shove-it, Nollie and Frontside 180, through the identification of significant input image transformation on different transfer learning models with optimized Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. A total of six amateur skateboarders (20 ± 7 years of age with at least 5.0 years of experience) executed five tricks for each type of trick repeatedly on a customized ORY skateboard (IMU sensor fused) on a cemented ground. From the IMU data, a total of six raw signals extracted. A total of two input image type, namely raw data (RAW) and Continous Wavelet Transform (CWT), as well as six transfer learning models from three different families along with grid-searched optimized SVM, were investigated towards its efficacy in classifying the skateboarding tricks. It was shown from the study that RAW and CWT input images on MobileNet, MobileNetV2 and ResNet101 transfer learning models demonstrated the best test accuracy at 100% on the test dataset. Nonetheless, by evaluating the computational time amongst the best models, it was established that the CWT-MobileNet-Optimized SVM pipeline was found to be the best. It could be concluded that the proposed method is able to facilitate the judges as well as coaches in identifying skateboarding tricks execution.
