This contribution deals with the discrimination between stratiform and convective cells in meteorological radar images. This study is based on a textural analysis of the latter and their classification using a Support Vector Machine (SVM). First, we applied different textural parameters such as energy, entropy, inertia and local homogeneity. Through this experience, we identified the different ...

BACKGROUND Wireless capsule endoscopy has been introduced as an innovative, non-invasive diagnostic technique for evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract, reaching places where conventional endoscopy is unable to. However, the output of this technique is an 8 hours video, whose analysis by the expert physician is very time consuming. Thus, a computer assisted diagnosis tool to help the physici...

Motion estimation is a key problem in the analysis of image sequences. From a sequence of images we can only estimate an approximation of the image motion field called optical flow. We propose to improve optical flow estimation by including information from images of textural features. We compute the optical flow from intensity and textural images from first-order derivatives, then combine esti...

A computer software system is designed for the automatic discrimination of benign tumor from malignant tumor in brain CT examinations. Image analysis methods were applied to the images of 40 benign images and 40 malignant images. Textural features extracted from the gray level co-occurrence matrix of the tumor images and back propagation neural network classifier were employed for the design of...

This study examined the effects of the textural properties and chemical components of foods on masseter activity patterns. Ten healthy young participants (seven men and three women) were asked to chew four gummy candies with different flavors while their masseter activities were recorded by a surface electromyogram. The masseter activity patterns during chewing were analyzed quantitatively usin...

This paper presents a novel approach to scribblebased image colorization. In the work reported here we have explored how to exploit the textural information to improve this process. For every scribbled image we extract the most discriminative features using linear discriminant analysis (LDA). After that, the whole image is projected onto a discriminative textural feature space. Our main contrib...

Navigating an autonomous agent outdoors can be a challenging task. As a basis for this research, the autonomous agent in question is that of an autonomous robotic lawnmower. Mowing a lawn can be a difficult, tedious, and sometimes hazardous chore for the human operator. The goal of this paper is to report on ongoing research of using the visual property of texture to design a system which gives...

In practice, image segmentation can be performed in many areas like medical and satellite communications to detect objects and regions in the image.The texture enhancement methods representing all texture information using a single image component. In previous texture enhancement methods reduce noise or artifacts in the image to highlight the textures with the help of filters which reduces the ...

abstract- in this study, texture profile analysis and a creep test were used to determine the textural quality attributes of fish protein isolates and conventional surimi. these isolates were made from raw materials obtained from filleting processes of silver carp (hypophthalmichthys molitrix) using acid and alkaline aided treatments. texture profile analysis was performed in order to obtain ha...
