Since one texture property(i.e coarseness, orientation, regularity, granularity) for ultrasound liver ages was not sufficient enough to classify the characteristics of livers, we used multi texture vectors tracted from ultrasound liver images and a statistical classifier. Multi texture vectors are selected among the feature vectors of the normal liver, fat liver and cirrhosis images which have a good separability in those ultrasound liver images. The statistical classifier uses multi texture vectors as input vectors and classifies ultrasound liver images for each multi texture vector by the Bayes decision rule. Then the decision of the liver disease is made by choosing the maximum value from the averages of a posteriori probability for each multi texture vector In our simulation, we obtained higtler correct ratio than that of other methods using single feature vector, for the test set the correct ratio is 94% in the normal liver, 84% in the fat liver and 86% in the cirrhosis liver.

China is a big country in animal fur industry. The total production and consumption of fur are increasing year by year. However, the recognition of fur in the fur production process still mainly relies on the visual identification of skilled workers, and the stability and consistency of products cannot be guaranteed. In response to this problem, this paper proposes a feature fusion-based animal fur recognition network on the basis of typical convolutional neural network structure, relying on rapidly developing deep learning techniques. This network superimposes texture feature - the most prominent feature of fur image - into the channel dimension of input image. The output feature map of the first layer convolution is inverted to obtain the inverted feature map and concat it into the original output feature map, then Leaky ReLU is used for activation, which makes full use of the texture information of fur image and the inverted feature information. Experimental results show that the algorithm improves the recognition accuracy by 9.08% on Fur_Recognition dataset and 6.41% on CIFAR-10 dataset. The algorithm in this paper can change the current situation that fur recognition relies on manual visual method to classify, and can lay foundation for improving the efficiency of fur production technology.

Music genre classification is an essential component for music information retrieval system. There are two important components to be considered for better genre classification, which are audio feature extraction and classifier. This paper incorporates two different kinds of features for genre classification, timbral texture and rhythmic content features. Timbral texture contains several spectral and Mel-frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) features. Before choosing a timbral feature we explore which feature contributes less significant role on genre discrimination. This facilitates the reduction of feature dimension. For the timbral features up to the 4-th order central moments and the covariance components of mutual features are considered to improve the overall classification result. For the rhythmic content the features extracted from beat histogram are selected. In the paper Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) with bagging is used as classifier for classifying the genres. Based on the proposed feature sets and classifier, experiment is performed with well-known datasets: GTZAN databases with ten different music genres, respectively. The proposed method acquires the better classification accuracy than the existing approaches.

This paper presents a Gabor texture feature extraction method for classification of discolored Metal pad images using GPU(Graphics Processing Unit). The proposed algorithm extracts the texture information using Gabor filters and constructs a pattern map using the extracted information. Finally, the golden pad images are classified by utilizing the feature vectors which are extracted from the constructed pattern map. In order to evaluate the performance of the Gabor texture feature extraction algorithm based on GPU, a sequential processing and parallel processing using OpenMP in CPU of this algorithm were adopted. Also, the proposed algorithm was implemented by using Global memory and Shared memory in GPU. The experimental results were demonstrated that the method using Shared memory in GPU provides the best performance. For evaluating the effectiveness of extracted Gabor texture features, an experimental validation has been conducted on a database of 20 Metal pad images and the experiment has shown no mis-classification.

It is very important to generate a simplified model from a complex 3D character in computer game. We propose a new method of extracting feature lines from a 3D game character. Given an unstructured 3D character model containing texture information, we use model feature map (MFM), which is a 2D map that abstracts the variation of texture and curvature in the 3D character model. The MFM is created from both a texture map and a curvature map, which are produced separately by edge-detection to locate line features. The MFM can be edited interactively using standard image-processing tools. We demonstrate the technique on several data sets, including, but not limited to facial character.

본 논문에서는 ¹⁸F-FDG PET과 CT에서 추출한 영상인자를 이용하여 비소세포폐암의 전이를 예측하는 머신러닝 모델을 생성하였다. ¹⁸F-FDG는 종양의 포도당 대사 시 사용되며 이를 추적하여 환자의 암 세포를 진단하는데 사용되는 의료영상 기법 중 하나이다. PET과 CT 영상에서 추출한 이미지 특징은 종양의 생물학적 특성을 반영하며 해당 ROI로부터 계산되어 정량화된 값이다. 본 연구에서는 환자의 의료영상으로부터 image texture 프절 전이 예측에 있어 유의한 인자인지를 확인하기 위하여 AUC를 계산하고 단변량 분석을 진행하였다. PET과 CT에서 각각 4개(GLRLM_GLNU, SHAPE_Compacity only for 3D ROI, SHAPE_Volume_vx, SHAPE_Volume_mL)와 2개(NGLDM_Busyness, TLG_ml)의 image texture feature를 모델의 생성에 사용하였다. 생성된 각 모델의 성능을 평가하기 위해 accuracy와 AUC를 계산하였으며 그 결과 random forest(RF) 모델의 예측 정확도가 가장 높았다. 추출된 PET과 CT image texture feature를 함께 사용하여 모델을 훈련하였을 때가 각각 따로 사용하였을 때 보다 예측 성능이 개선됨을 확인하였다. 추출된 영상인자가 림프절 전이를 나타내는 바이오마커로서의 가능성을 확인할 수 있었으며 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 개인별 의료 영상을 기반으로 한 비소세포폐암의 치료 전략을 수립할 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

Recently, image classification has been an important task in various fields. Generally, the performance of image classification is not good without the adjustment of image features. Therefore, it is desired that the way of automatic feature extraction. In this paper, we propose an image classification method which adjusts image features automatically. We assume that texture features are useful in image classification tasks because natural images are composed of several types of texture. Thus, the classification accuracy rate is improved by using distribution of texture features. We obtain texture features by calculating image features from a current considering pixel and its neighborhood pixels. And we calculate image features from distribution of textures feature. Those image features are adjusted to image classification tasks using Genetic Algorithm. We apply proposed method to classifying images into "head" or "non-head" and "male" or "female".

Recently, image matching becomes important in Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) due to the huge amount of medical images. Specially, texture feature is useful in medical image matching. However, texture features such as co-occurrence matrices can't describe well the spatial distribution of gray levels of the neighborhood pixels. In this paper we propose a frequency domain-based texture feature extractor that describes the local spatial distribution for medical image retrieval. This method is based on 2D Local Discrete Fourier transform of local images. The features are extracted from local Fourier histograms that generated by four Fourier images. Experimental results using 40 classes Brodatz textures and 1 class of Emphysema CT images show that the average accuracy of retrieval is about 93%.

In this paper, I proposes a method for performing single image super resolution by separating texture-spatial domains and then classifying features based on detailed information. In CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) based super resolution, the complex procedures and generation of redundant feature information in feature estimation process for enhancing details can lead to quality degradation in super resolution. The proposed method reduced procedural complexity and minimizes generation of redundant feature information by splitting input image into two channels: texture and spatial. In texture channel, a feature refinement process with step-wise skip connections is applied for detail restoration, while in spatial channel, a method is introduced to preserve the structural features of the image. Experimental results using proposed method demonstrate improved performance in terms of PSNR and SSIM evaluations compared to existing super resolution methods, confirmed the enhancement in quality.
