The slopes of the Cotswolds Escarpment in the United Kingdom are mantled by extensive landslide deposits, including both relict and active features. These landslides pose a significant threat to engineering projects and have been the focus of research into the use of airborne remote sensing data sets for landslide mapping. Due to the availability of extensive ground investigation data, a test s...

Remote sensing is a promising technology that finds as diverse applications as defence, urbanplanning, healthcare, and environmental management. Collecting countrywide statistics of cropyield is one of the main tasks of remote sensing. Acquiring and processing very high-resolution(VHR) satellite images are means accomplishing this task. Processing these remotely sensed(RS) image...

A theory for ultrasonic wave propagation in a symmetry plane of a biaxially stressed, orthorhombic continuum is presented. Since many of the material parameters which appear in the analysis are unknown, in particular the third‐order elastic constants of polycrystalline metals, emphasis is placed on the angular dependence of the velocities. An expansion to first order in stress‐induced anisotrop...

It is difficult to differentiate diffuse liver diseases, namely cirrhotic and fatty livers from normal one by visual inspection from the ultrasound images. The need for computerized tissue characterization is thus justified to assist quantitatively the sonographer for accurate differentiation. In this paper a novel approach of tissue characterization using pattern recognition techniques is deve...

Histological subtypes of basal cell carcinoma have biological, evolutionary and distinct prognostic behavior. The analysis of characteristics of the nucleus can provide data on their cellular physiology and behavior. The authors of this study evaluated nuclear morphological parameters and textural patterns of chromatin from different subtypes of basal cell carcinoma: nodular (n=37), superficial...

Since ten years, the multifractal analysis represents an original tool in signal and especially image processing. The multifractal methods in texture analysis are becoming efficient due to multifractal modelling and powerful methods in estimation of irregularities functions (exponent of Hölder) and multifractal spectrum. In this respect, we propose a multifractal approach for textural character...

This paper aims at introducing a textural pattern analysis approach to Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax) detection from Leishman stained thin blood film. This scheme follows retrospective study design protocol where patients were selected at random in the clinic. The scheme consists of four stages – artefacts reduction, fuzzy divergence-based segmentation of P. vivax infected region(s) and normal ery...

PURPOSE Textural measures have been widely explored as imaging biomarkers in cancer. However, their robustness under dynamic range and spatial resolution changes in brain 3D magnetic resonance images (MRI) has not been assessed. The aim of this work was to study potential variations of textural measures due to changes in MRI protocols. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty patients harboring glioblast...

Sensory and textural parameters of yogurt are known to have an important impact on food quality and acceptability. The emphasis in this article is to summarize the rheological and textural parameters of yogurt. Viscosity, hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, and springiness are considered the most important descriptors for the textural perception of yogurt. Factors affecting textural propertie...

In this paper we propose how to exploit image textural features to improve scribble-based image colorization. The existing techniques work by propagating color from the user-added scribbles over the whole image. The color propagation paths are determined so as to minimize the luminance changes integrated along the path. In our method, at first linear discriminant analysis is performed over the ...
