The aim of the study was to conduct an analysis of the main symptoms of deep pectoral myopathy (DPM) in broiler chickens, which is manifested by changes in colour and texture of the affected muscle. The research was conducted on Ross508 chicken broilers, at an age of 35-42 d. The lesions were assessed through macroscopic inspection, using colour parameters as well as texture analysis. Furthermo...

The process of partitioning an image into some different meaningful regions with the homogeneous characteristics is called the image segmentation which is a crucial task in image analysis. This study presents an efficient scheme for unsupervised colour–texture image segmentation using neutrosophic set (NS) and nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT). First, the image colour and texture inform...

Ten selected brands of commercial chicken burgers were analysed for their proximate composition, texture profiles, colour and sensory properties. Results show commercial chicken burgers consisted of moisture, proteins, fat and ash in the range of 46.72-69.37%, 11.08-18.77%, 9.08-20.54%, and 1.50-2.96%, respectively. Meanwhile, texture profiles comprised of hardness ranging from 8003.25-19038.15...

This paper describes an indexing system for use in Content Based Image Retrieval. The standard colour histogram approach is simple, eÆcient, and robust. However, it does not include shape information, which leads to problems (e.g. many-to-many mappings). To remedy this we use additional features in an attempt to incorporate shape and textual information to the index key. Our experiments showed ...

Segmentation of a colour image composed of different kinds of texture regions can be a hard problem, namely to compute for an exact texture fields and a decision of the optimum number of segmentation areas in an image when it contains similar and/or unstationary texture fields. In this work, a method is described for evolving adaptive procedures for these problems. In many real world applicatio...

The aim of this paper is to outline a perceptual approach to a computational colourtexture representation based on some colour induction phenomena. The extension of classical grey level methods for texture processing to the RGB channels of the corresponding colour texture is not the best solution to simulate human perception. Chromatic induction mechanisms of the human visual system, that has b...

Textures are characteristic intensity (or colour) variations that typically originate from roughness of object surfaces. For a well-defined texture, intensity variations will normally exhibit both regularity and randomness, and for this reason texture analysis requires careful design of statistical measures. While there are certain quite commonly used approaches to texture analysis, much depend...
