Searching high gray scale FPD scanning matrix based on PSO

With the increase of gray scale and flat panel display （FPD） size, subspace bitwise scanning strategy can be replaced traditional scanning method to cut down frame frequency. However, the direct searching strategy （DSS） becomes unfeasible to obtain corresponding high gray scale scanning matrix. Thus, particle swarm optimization （PSO） is introduced to accelerate searching for high gray scale weights scanning matrix （WSM） with its parallelism and global optimization feature. Finally a WSM of 256 gray scales is found out successfully with Matlab, which both gray linearity and scanning efficiency are satisfied.

Interconverting Models of Gray Matrix and Geographic Coordinates Based on Space Analytic Geometry

With the progress and development of science, the synchronous satellite as the high-tech product is taken something more and more seriously by all countries. Converting gray value matrix into geographic coordinates becomes more and more important. This paper establishes the models for interconverting row and column of gray value matrix which detected by the infrared detectors on synchronous satellites and geographic coordinates based on the related theorems and properties of space analytic geometry. We draw satellite cloud image with the data of gray matrix in MATLAB, convert coastline’s latitude and longitude coordinates into row and column coordinates of a gray matrix according via these models when the sub-satellite point’s row and column coordinates and geographic coordinates are given, then add coast-lines to the original satellite cloud image with the transformation data. We find that coast-lines completely match with the bump characteristics of satellite cloud image, and that verify the correctness of the models.

3D Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix Based Classification of Favor Benign and Borderline Types in Follicular Neoplasm Images

Since the efficiency of treatment of thyroid disorder depends on the risk of malignancy, indeterminate follicular neoplasm (FN) images should be classified. The diagnosis process has been done by visual interpretation of experienced pathologists. However, it is difficult to separate the favor benign from borderline types. Thus, this paper presents a classification approach based on 3D nuclei model to classify favor benign and borderline types of follicular thyroid adenoma (FTA) in cytological specimens. The proposed method utilized 3D gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) and random forest classifier. It was applied to 22 data sets of FN images. Furthermore, the use of 3D GLCM was compared with 2D GLCM to evaluate the classification results. From experimental results, the proposed system achieved 95.45% of the classification. The use of 3D GLCM was better than 2D GLCM according to the accuracy of classification. Consequently, the proposed method probably helps a pathologist as a prescreening tool.

EFFECT OF NITROGEN ON MATRIX STRUCTURE OF GRAY CAST IRON

Effect of nitrogen on matrix structure of 3 different varieties of gray cast iron,i.e., sub-eutectic Fe-C-Si,near-eutectic Fe-C-Si and Fe-C-Si-Mn,has been investigated. The eutectie colony structure of gray cast iron may be refined,the pearlite content increased and the micro-hardness of pearlite and ferrite raised with an addition of nitrogen.The influ- ence of nitrogen on the transformation temperature of the equilibrium and non-equilibrium phases,as well as,the solution of nitrogen in ferrite and cementite seem to be the major rea- sons to strengthening the matrix structure of gray cast iron.

The functions of image scaling and rotating have also been implemented for multiply application. The simulation and chip test result show that the chip design has met the design requirements.

Material microstructures analyzed by using gray level Co-occurrence matrices

The mechanical properties of materials greatly depend on the microstructure morphology. The quantitative characterization of material microstructures is essential for the performance prediction and hence the material design. At present,the quantitative characterization methods mainly rely on the microstructure characterization of shape, size, distribution,and volume fraction, which related to the mechanical properties. These traditional methods have been applied for several decades and the subjectivity of human factors induces unavoidable errors. In this paper, we try to bypass the traditional operations and identify the relationship between the microstructures and the material properties by the texture of image itself directly. The statistical approach is based on gray level Co-occurrence matrix（GLCM）, allowing an objective and repeatable study on material microstructures. We first present how to identify GLCM with the optimal parameters, and then apply the method on three systems with different microstructures. The results show that GLCM can reveal the interface information and microstructures complexity with less human impact. Naturally, there is a good correlation between GLCM and the mechanical properties.

An Improved Deep Structure for Accurately Brain Tumor Recognition

Brain neoplasms are recognized with a biopsy,which is not commonly done before decisive brain surgery.By using Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs)and textural features,the process of diagnosing brain tumors by radiologists would be a noninvasive procedure.This paper proposes a features fusion model that can distinguish between no tumor and brain tumor types via a novel deep learning structure.The proposed model extracts Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix(GLCM)textural features from MRI brain tumor images.Moreover,a deep neural network(DNN)model has been proposed to select the most salient features from the GLCM.Moreover,it manipulates the extraction of the additional high levels of salient features from a proposed CNN model.Finally,a fusion process has been utilized between these two types of features to form the input layer of additional proposed DNN model which is responsible for the recognition process.Two common datasets have been applied and tested,Br35H and FigShare datasets.The first dataset contains binary labels,while the second one splits the brain tumor into four classes;glioma,meningioma,pituitary,and no cancer.Moreover,several performance metrics have been evaluated from both datasets,including,accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,F-score,and training time.Experimental results show that the proposed methodology has achieved superior performance compared with the current state of art studies.The proposed system has achieved about 98.22%accuracy value in the case of the Br35H dataset however,an accuracy of 98.01%has been achieved in the case of the FigShare dataset.

Hybrid Color Texture Features Classification Through ANN for Melanoma

Melanoma is of the lethal and rare types of skin cancer.It is curable at an initial stage and the patient can survive easily.It is very difficult to screen all skin lesion patients due to costly treatment.Clinicians are requiring a correct method for the right treatment for dermoscopic clinical features such as lesion borders,pigment networks,and the color of melanoma.These challenges are required an automated system to classify the clinical features of melanoma and non-melanoma disease.The trained clinicians can overcome the issues such as low contrast,lesions varying in size,color,and the existence of several objects like hair,reflections,air bubbles,and oils on almost all images.Active contour is one of the suitable methods with some drawbacks for the segmentation of irre-gular shapes.An entropy and morphology-based automated mask selection is pro-posed for the active contour method.The proposed method can improve the overall segmentation along with the boundary of melanoma images.In this study,features have been extracted to perform the classification on different texture scales like Gray level co-occurrence matrix(GLCM)and Local binary pattern(LBP).When four different moments pull out in six different color spaces like HSV,Lin RGB,YIQ,YCbCr,XYZ,and CIE L*a*b then global information from different colors channels have been combined.Therefore,hybrid fused texture features;such as local,color feature as global,shape features,and Artificial neural network(ANN)as classifiers have been proposed for the categorization of the malignant and non-malignant.Experimentations had been carried out on datasets Dermis,DermQuest,and PH2.The results of our advanced method showed super-iority and contrast with the existing state-of-the-art techniques.

Pre-stack-texture-based reservoir characteristics and seismic facies analysis

Seismic texture attributes are closely related to seismic facies and reservoir characteristics and are thus widely used in seismic data interpretation.However,information is mislaid in the stacking process when traditional texture attributes are extracted from poststack data,which is detrimental to complex reservoir description.In this study,pre-stack texture attributes are introduced,these attributes can not only capable of precisely depicting the lateral continuity of waveforms between different reflection points but also reflect amplitude versus offset,anisotropy,and heterogeneity in the medium.Due to its strong ability to represent stratigraphies,a pre-stack-data-based seismic facies analysis method is proposed using the selforganizing map algorithm.This method is tested on wide azimuth seismic data from China,and the advantages of pre-stack texture attributes in the description of stratum lateral changes are verified,in addition to the method＇s ability to reveal anisotropy and heterogeneity characteristics.The pre-stack texture classification results effectively distinguish different seismic reflection patterns,thereby providing reliable evidence for use in seismic facies analysis.

基于多特征的金属断口图像疲劳条带分割

疲劳条带是疲劳断口典型的微观特征,分割是对金属断口图像进行定量分析以反推疲劳寿命和疲劳应力的重要环节。由于断裂过程中的复杂性使得实际断口多表现为多样性的混合形态,且不同区域的疲劳条带周期差别很大,使得疲劳条带纹理区域和纹理边缘的准确定位成为分割的一大难点。传统单一纹理特征对这类复杂的自然纹理分割准确性低。通过分析断口的自然纹理特性,提出结合灰度共生矩阵和小波包变换,采用多特征对断口图像的疲劳条带进行准确分割,从而发挥了时域和频域两类特征的双重优势。实验结果表明,改进的多特征方法对疲劳条带自动分割精度优于传统方法。

Coal–rock interface detection on the basis of image texture features

Based on the stability and inequality of texture features between coal and rock,this study used the digital image analysis technique to propose a coal–rock interface detection method.By using gray level co-occurrence matrix,twenty-two texture features were extracted from the images of coal and rock.Data dimension of the feature space reduced to four by feature selection,which was according to a separability criterion based on inter-class mean difference and within-class scatter.The experimental results show that the optimized features were effective in improving the separability of the samples and reducing the time complexity of the algorithm.In the optimized low-dimensional feature space,the coal–rock classifer was set up using the fsher discriminant method.Using the 10-fold cross-validation technique,the performance of the classifer was evaluated,and an average recognition rate of 94.12%was obtained.The results of comparative experiments show that the identifcation performance of the proposed method was superior to the texture description method based on gray histogram and gradient histogram.

A seismic texture coherence algorithm and its application

The first generation coherence algorithm （the C1 algorithm） that calculates the coherence of seismic data in-line and cross-line was developed using statistical cross-correlation theory, and it has the limitation that the technique can only be applied to horizons. Based on the texture technique, the texture coherence algorithm uses seismic information in different directions and differences among multiple traces. It can not only calculate seismic coherence in in-line and cross-line directions but also in all other directions. In this study, we suggested first an optimization method and a criterion for constructing the gray level co-occurrence matrix of the seismic texture coherence algorithm. Then the co-occurrence matrix was prepared to evaluate differences among multiple traces. Compared with the C1 algorithm, the seismic texture coherence algorithm suggested in this paper is better than the C1 in its information extraction and application. Furthermore, it implements the multi-direction information fusion and it, also has the advantage of simplicity and effectiveness, and improves the resolution of the seismic profile. Application of the method to field data shows that the texture coherence attribute is superior to that of C 1 and that it has merits in identification of faults and channels.

Assessing Texture of Slub-Yarn Fabric Using Image Analysis

The application of digital image processing to the classification of the slub-yarn texture is discussed. Texture of the slub-yarn fabric is analyzed by using the texture analysis techniques. The influence of the slub-yarn parameters on the fabric texture is discussed. Results indicate that texture of the slub-yarn fabric can be reliably measured using gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) analysis.

Classification of Infrared Monitor Images of Coal Using an Feature Texture Statistics and Improved BP Network

It is very important to accurately recognize and locate pulverized and block coal seen in a coal mine's infrared image monitoring system. Infrared monitor images of pulverized and block coal were sampled in the roadway of a coal mine. Texture statistics from the grey level dependence matrix were selected as the criterion for classification. The distributions of the texture statistics were calculated and analysed. A normalizing function was added to the front end of the BP network with one hidden layer. An additional classification layer is joined behind the linear layer. The recognition of pulverized from block coal images was tested using the improved BP network. The results of the experiment show that texture variables from the grey level dependence matrix can act as recognizable features of the image. The innovative improved BP network can then recognize the pulverized and block coal images.

An Efficient Deep Learning-based Content-based Image Retrieval Framework

The use of massive image databases has increased drastically over the few years due to evolution of multimedia technology.Image retrieval has become one of the vital tools in image processing applications.Content-Based Image Retrieval(CBIR)has been widely used in varied applications.But,the results produced by the usage of a single image feature are not satisfactory.So,multiple image features are used very often for attaining better results.But,fast and effective searching for relevant images from a database becomes a challenging task.In the previous existing system,the CBIR has used the combined feature extraction technique using color auto-correlogram,Rotation-Invariant Uniform Local Binary Patterns(RULBP)and local energy.However,the existing system does not provide significant results in terms of recall and precision.Also,the computational complexity is higher for the existing CBIR systems.In order to handle the above mentioned issues,the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix(GLCM)with Deep Learning based Enhanced Convolution Neural Network(DLECNN)is proposed in this work.The proposed system framework includes noise reduction using histogram equalization,feature extraction using GLCM,similarity matching computation using Hierarchal and Fuzzy c-Means(HFCM)algorithm and the image retrieval using DLECNN algorithm.The histogram equalization has been used for computing the image enhancement.This enhanced image has a uniform histogram.Then,the GLCM method has been used to extract the features such as shape,texture,colour,annotations and keywords.The HFCM similarity measure is used for computing the query image vector's similarity index with every database images.For enhancing the performance of this image retrieval approach,the DLECNN algorithm is proposed to retrieve more accurate features of the image.The proposed GLCM+DLECNN algorithm provides better results associated with high accuracy,precision,recall,f-measure and lesser complexity.From the experimental results,it is clearly observed that the proposed system provides efficient image retrieval for the given query image.

A matching algorithm based on hybrid matrices consisting of reference differences and disparities

Unique correct correspondence cannot be obtained only by use of gray correlation technique, which describes gray similar degree of feature points between the left and right images too unilaterally. The gray correlation technique is adopted to extract gray correlation peaks as a coarse matching set called multi-peak set. The disparity gradient limited constraint is utilized to optimize the multi-peak set. Unique match will be obtained by calculating the correlation of hybrid matrices consisting of reference differences and disparities from the multi-peak set. Two of the known corresponding points in the left and right images, respectively, are set as a pair of reference points to determine search direction and search scope at first. After the unique correspondence is obtained by calculating the correlation of the hybrid matrices from the multi-peak set, the obtained match is regarded as a new reference point till all feature points in the left (or right) image have been processed. Experimental results proved that the proposed algorithm was feasible and accurate.

Fuzzy-Rough Feature Selection for Mammogram Classification

Feature selection（FS） refers to the process of selecting those input attributes that are most predictive of a given outcome. Unlike other dimensionality reduction methods,feature selectors preserve the original meaning of the features after reduction. The benefits of FS are twofold：it considerably decreases the running time of the induction algorithm,and increases the accuracy of the resulting model. This paper analyses the FS process in mammogram classification using fuzzy logic and rough set theory. Rough set and fuzzy logic based Quickreduct algorithms are applied for the FS from the features extracted using gray level co-occurence matrix（GLCM） constructed over the mammogram region. The predictive accuracy of the features is tested using NaiveBayes,Ripper,C4.5,and ant-miner algorithms. The results show that the ant-miner produces significant result comparing with others and the number of features selected using fuzzy-rough quick reduct algorithm is minimum,too.
