Statistical Features for Image Retrieval: A Quantitative Comparison
In this paper we present a comparison between various statistical descriptors and analyze their goodness in
classifying textural images. The chosen statistical descriptors have been proposed by Tamura, Battiato and
Haralick. In this work we also test a combination of the three descriptors for texture analysis. The databases
used in our study are the well-known Brodatz’s album and DDSM(Heath et al., 1998). The computed features
are classified using the Naive Bayes, the RBF, the KNN, the Random Forest and Random Tree models. The
results obtained from this study show that we can achieve a high classification accuracy if the descriptors are
used all together
Analysis of GLCM Parameters for Textures Classification on UMD Database Images
Texture analysis is one of the most important techniques that have been used in image processing for many purposes, including image classification. The texture determines the region of a given gray level image, and reflects its relevant information. Several methods of analysis have been invented and developed to deal with texture in recent years, and each one has its own method of extracting features from the texture. These methods can be divided into two main approaches: statistical methods and processing methods. Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) is the most popular statistical method used to get features from the texture. In addition to GLCM, a number of equations of Haralick characteristics will be used to calculate values used as discriminate features among different images in this study. There are many parameters of GLCM that should be taken into consideration to increase the discrimination between images belonging to different classes. In this study, we aim to evaluate GLCM parameters. For three decades now, GLCM is popular method used for texture analysis. Neural network which is one of supervised methods will also be used as a classifier. And finally, the database for this study will be images prepared from UMD (University of Maryland database)
Evaluation of Statistical Features for Medical Image Retrieval
In this paper we present a complete system allowing the classification of medical images in order to detect possible diseases present in them. The proposed method is developed in two distinct stages: calculation of descriptors and their classification. In the first stage we compute a vector of thirty-three statistical features: seven are related to statistics
of the first level order, fifteen to that of second level where thirteen are calculated by means of co-occurrence matrices and two with absolute gradient; the last thirteen finally are calculated using run-length matrices. In the second phase, using the descriptors already calculated, there is the actual image classification. Naive Bayes, RBF, Support VectorMa-
chine, K-Nearest Neighbor, Random Forest and Random Tree classifiers are used. The results obtained from the proposed system show that the analysis carried out both on textured and on medical images lead to have a high accuracy
Influence of color spaces over texture characterization
Images are generally represented in the RGB color space. This is the
model commonly used for most cameras and for displaying on computer
screens. Nevertheless, the representation of color images using this color space
has some important drawbacks for image analysis. For example, it is a
non-uniform space, that is, measured color differences are not proportional to
the human perception of such differences. On the other hand, HSI color space is
closer to the human color perception and CIE Lab color space has been defined
to be approximately uniform. In this work, the influence of the color space for
color texture characterization is studied by comparing Lab, HSI, and RGB color
spaces. Their effectiveness is analyzed regarding their influence over two
different texture characterization methods: DFT features and co-occurrence
matrices. The results have shown that involving color information into texture
analysis improves the characterization significantly. Moreover, Lab and HSI
color spaces outperform RG
