Visualization of biological texture using correlation coefficient images.

چکیده
Subsurface structural features of biological tissue are visualized using polarized light images. The technique of Pearson correlation coefficient analysis is used to reduce blurring of these features by unpolarized backscattered light and to visualize the regions of high statistical similarities within the noisy tissue images. It is shown that under certain conditions, such correlation coefficient maps are determined by the textural character of tissues and not by the chosen region of interest, providing information on tissue structure. As an example, the subsurface texture of a demineralized tooth sample is enhanced from a noisy polarized light image.

متن کاملAutomatic classification of Non-alcoholic fatty liver using texture features from ultrasound images
Background: Accurate and early detection of non-alcoholic fatty liver, which is a major cause of chronic diseases is very important and is vital to prevent the complications associated with this disease. Ultrasound of the liver is the most common and widely performed method of diagnosing fatty liver. However, due to the low quality of ultrasound images, the need for an automatic and intelligent...
متن کاملCharacterization of one-dimensional texture-a point process approach
The distance between 'texture primitives' is of major interest in characterizing texture images. This is especially natural when the texture primitives are elongated structures aligned in parallel to a common main axis, and the distance is measured along the perpendicular axis. Such images arise, for example, in flow visualization studies, where the elongated structures are low-speed streaks. A...
متن کاملChange Visualization through a Texture-based Analysis Approach for Disaster Applications
A fast detection and visualization of change in crisis areas is an important condition for planning and coordination of help. The availability of new satellites with high temporal resolution (e.g. RapidEye) and/or high spatial resolution (e.g. Quickbird) provides the basis for a better visualization of multitemporal change. For automated change detection, a large number of algorithms has been p...
متن کاملDesign Approach of Texture Classification using Discrete Cosine Transform with Soft Computing Tool
Texture can be considered as a repeating pattern of local variation of pixel intensities. In texture classification the goal is to assign an unknown sample image to a set of known texture classes. One of the difficulties in texture classification was the lack of tools that characterize textures. Classification of textures has received attention during last few decades. As DCT works on gray leve...
