Entropy-Optimized Texture Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to robustly match a statistical model of shape and appearance (e.g. AAM) to an unseen image, it is crucial to employ a robust model fittness measure. Dense sampling of texture over the region covered by the shape of interest makes comparison of model and image in principle robust. However, when merely texture differences are taken into account, problems with low contrast regions, fuzzy features, global intensity variations, and irregularly varying structures occur. In this paper we introduce a novel entropy-optimized texture model (ETM). We map gray values of training images such that pixels represent anatomical structures optimally in terms of information entropy. We match the ETM to unseen images employing Bayes' law. We validate our approach using four training sets (hearts in basal region, hearts in mid region, brain ventricles, and lumbar vertebrae) and conclude that ETMs perform better than AAMs. Not only they reduce the average point-to-contour error, they are better suited to cope with large texture variances due to different scanners and even modalities.

An Evolutionary Algorithm for the Texture Analysis of Cubic System Materials Derived by the Maximum Entropy Principle
Based on the principle of maximum entropy method (MEM) for quantitative texture analysis, the differential evolution (DE) algorithm was effectively introduced. Using a DE-optimized algorithm with a faster but more stable convergence rate of iteration, more reliable complete orientation distribution functions (C-ODF) have been obtained for deep-drawn IF steel sheets and the recrystallized alumin...

متن کاملSegmentation of Multi-Textured Images using Optimized Local Ternary Patterns
Texture segmentation is a process of segmenting an image into differently textured regions. This paper is aimed at the segmentation of multitextured images by using Optimized Local Ternary Patterns (OLTP), a new texture model which is recently proposed for texture analysis. This paper uses unsupervised texture segmentation method with the application of optimized local ternary patterns for find...
