in this study, potential application of image texture analysis as a non-destructive method for automation and prediction of mechanical properties of carrot chips was investigated. samples were fried at different processing conditions and moisture content, colour parameters (i.e. l*, a*, b* and e) and mechanical properties (i.e. hardness and apparent modulus) were determined. hardness and appar...

Magnetic resonance image texture analysis (MRI-TA) has been already demonstrated as a powerful tool to extract image information better than visual examination of grey levels. Human muscular dystrophy is a disease of which diagnosis is rather easy but it remains a lack of atraumatic methods for its follow-up as well as for the management of treatments presently in progress. MRI appears to be a ...

The aim of this paper is to present some computational aspects in numerical simulation of the human skin tissue. A multi-layered model is considered for the skin tissue with emphasis on the mathematical modelling and numerical models in space 2D and 3D (for axisymmetric fields). A coupled model involves an interdisciplinary study including physiology, biology, neurology, heat transfer, fluid me...

Intelligent computerised systems can provide useful assistance to the physician in the rapid identification of tissue abnormalities and accurate diagnosis in real-time. The endoscopic images possess rich information expressed by texture. In this paper schemes have been developed to extract texture features from the texture spectra in the chromatic and achromatic domains for a selected region of...

Nailfold capillaroscopy (NC) is a non-invasive imaging technique employed to assess the condition of blood capillaries in the nailfold and is particularly useful for diagnosis of scleroderma spectrum disorders and Raynaud’s phenomenon. Diagnosis is based on the identification of particular scleroderma patterns in the images which are typically grouped into early, active and late patterns. In th...

Brain tumor diagnosis is a very crucial task. This system provides an efficient and fast way for diagnosis of the brain tumor. Proposed system consists of multiple phases. First phase consists of texture feature extraction from brain MR images. Second phase classify brain images on the bases of these texture feature using ensemble base classifier. After classification tumor region is extracted ...

Texture analysis has become an important task in image processing because it is used as a preprocessing stage in different research areas including medical image analysis, industrial inspection, segmentation of remote sensed imaginary, multimedia indexing and retrieval. In order to extract visual texture features a texture image analysis technique is presented based on the Hermite transform. Ps...

In a well forgotten memoir of 1890, Andrei Markov devised a convergence acceleration technique based on a series transformation which is very similar to what is now known as the WilfZeilberger (WZ) method. We review Markov’s work, put it in the context of modern computeraided WZ machinery, and speculate about possible reasons of the memoir being shelved for so long.

A regular texture contains a periodic arrangement of a determinable pattern. Motifs of a regular texture are the minimal parallelogrammic sub-regions that can reproduce the texture by tiling. A motif extracted from a regular texture can be used for texture reproduction, texture recognition, and texture compression. However, it is not simple to accurately capture a motif of a regular texture, as...
