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.

Mammogram Images

Digital image processing techniques are very useful in abnormality detection in digital mammogram images. Nowadays, texture-based image segmentation of digital mammogram images is very popular due to its better accuracy and precision. Local binary pattern (LBP) descriptor has attracted many researchers working in the field of texture analysis of digital images. Because of its success, many texture descriptors have been introduced as variants of LBP. In this work, we propose a novel texture descriptor called generic weighted cubicle pattern (GWCP) and we analyzed the proposed operator for texture image classification. We also performed abnormality detection through mammogram image segmentation using k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm and compared the performance of the proposed texture descriptor with LBP and other variants of LBP namely local ternary pattern (LTPT), extended local texture pattern (ELTP) and local texture pattern (LTPS). For evaluation, we used the performance metrics such as accuracy, error rate, sensitivity, specificity, under estimation fraction and over estimation fraction. The results prove that the proposed method outperforms other descriptors in terms of abnormality detection in mammogram images.
