A Simple Computational Approach for the Texture Analysis of CT Scan Images Using Orthogonal Moments

This paper is a study on texture analysis of Computer Tomography (CT) liver images using orthogonal moment features. Orthogonal moments are used as image feature representation in many applications like invariant pattern recognition of images. Orthogonal moments are proposed here for the diagnosis of any abnormalities on the CT images. The objective of the proposed work is to carry out the comparative study of the performance of orthogonal moments like Zernike, Racah and Legendre moments for the detection of abnormal tissue on CT liver images. The Region of Interest (ROI) based segmentation and watershed segmentation are applied to the input image and the features are extracted with the orthogonal moments and analyses are made with the combination of orthogonal moment with segmentation that provides better accuracy while detecting the tumor. This computational model is tested with many inputs and the performance of the orthogonal moments with segmentation for the texture analysis of CT scan images is computed and compared.

水果轮廓特征提取的Zernike矩分水岭分割方法

果实轮廓特征的测量提取是了解水果等农作物发育过程中内部生理生态变化的重要手段。该文提出了一种基于Zernike矩边缘检测的分水岭算法,并将该算法应用于葡萄果粒的轮廓特征提取。与传统的标记驱动分水岭算法相比,该算法利用Zernike矩边缘检测避免了标记对于轮廓的破坏,较好的保护了目标轮廓,从而减少了后续处理,提高了检测效率。最后,将用该算法所得到的轮廓和用传统的标记驱动分水岭算法所得到的轮廓进行比较,验证了该算法的可行性。该算法具有较高的检测效率,相较传统算法提高约6.9%左右,能够满足连续提取葡萄果粒的轮廓特征的要求。该方法可用于实时检测葡萄果粒的几何特征的变化。
