Anisotropy analysis of 2D and 3D textures using anisotropic fractional Brownian field
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper aims first at implementing two algorithms to extract Region Of Interest (ROI) from 2D (mammography) and 3D images (tomosynthesis) so that to gather ROI databases and second, at analyzing anisotropy of these images textures using an anisotropic fractional Brownian field to check whether the model being studied helps apprehend the breast anisotropy. This analysis includes the estimation and the comparison of indices (already presented in [17]). We detail two algorithms: the automatic and the manual extraction of ROI implemented to gather 2D and 3D Region Of Interest (ROI) databases. Tests performed are described and results are reported. Keywords-medical imaging, fractional Brownian fields, tomosynthesis, mammography, anisotropy, texture.

Parametric estimation for Gaussian operator scaling random fields and anisotropy analysis of bone radiograph textures
In this paper, we consider a stochastic anisotropic model for trabecular bone x-ray images. In [1], a fractal analysis based on isotropic Fractional Brownian Fields was proposed to characterize bone microarchitecture. However anisotropy measurement is of special interest for the diagnosis of osteoporosis [7]. We propose to model trabecular bone radiographs by operator scaling Gaussian random fi...
متن کاملStochastic Analysis of Seepage through Natural Alluvial Deposits Considering Mechanical Anisotropy
The soil is a heterogeneous and anisotropic medium. Hydraulic conductivity, an intrinsic property of natural alluvial deposits varies both deterministically and randomly in space and has different values in various directions. In the present study, the permeability of natural deposits and its influence on the seepage flow through a natural alluvial deposit is studied. The 2D Finite Difference c...

متن کاملThe Density-Driven Nanofluid Convection in an Anisotropic Porous Medium Layer with Rotation and Variable Gravity Field: A Numerical Investigation
In this study, a numerical examination of the significance of rotation and changeable gravitational field on the start of nanofluid convective movement in an anisotropic porous medium layer is shown. A model that accounts for the impact of Brownian diffusion and thermophoresis is used for nanofluid, while Darcy’s law is taken for the porous medium. The porous layer is subjected to uniform rotat...
متن کاملThe Effect of Spatial Variability and Anisotropy of Soils on Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations
Naturally occurred soil deposits inherit heterogeneity and anisotropy in their strength properties. The main purpose of this paper is to model the soil stratum with anisotropy consideration and spatially varying undrained shear strength by using random field theory coupled with finite difference numerical analysis to evaluate their effect on the bearing capacity of the shallow foundations. In t...
