Feature Importance Analysis and Machine Learning for Alzheimer’s Disease Early Detection: Feature Fusion of the Hippocampus, Entorhinal Cortex, and Standardized Uptake Value Ratio

Introduction: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurological disorder characterized by mild memory loss and ranks as a leading cause of mortality in the USA, accounting for approximately 120,000 deaths per year. It is also the primary form of dementia. Early detection is critical for timely intervention as the neurodegenerative process often starts 15–20 years before cognitive symptoms manifest. This study focuses on determining feature importance in AD classification using fused texture features from 3D magnetic resonance imaging hippocampal and entorhinal cortex and standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) derived from positron emission tomography (PET) images. Methods: To achieve this objective, we employed four distinct classifiers (Linear Support Vector Classification, Linear Discriminant Analysis, Logistic Regression, and Logistic Regression Classifier with Stochastic Gradient Descent Learning). These classifiers were used to derive both average and top-ranked importance scores for each feature based on their outputs. Our framework is designed to distinguish between two classes, AD-negative (or mild cognitive impairment stable [MCIs]) and AD-positive (or MCI conversion [MCIc]), using a probabilistic neural network classifier and the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database. Results: The findings from the feature importance highlight the crucial role of the GLCM texture features extracted from the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex, demonstrating their superior performance compared to the volume and SUVR. GLCM texture AD classification achieved approximately 90% sensitivity in identifying MCIc cases while maintaining low false positives (below 30%) when fused with other features. Moreover, the receiver operating characteristic curves validate the GLCMs’ superior performance in distinguishing between MCIs and MCIc. Additionally, fusing different types of features improved classification performance compared to relying solely on any single feature category. Conclusion: Our study emphasizes the pivotal role of GLCM texture features in early Alzheimer’s detection.

Maize Crop Detection through Geo-Object-Oriented Analysis Using Orbital Multi-Sensors on the Google Earth Engine Platform

Mato Grosso state is the biggest maize producer in Brazil, with the predominance of cultivation concentrated in the second harvest. Due to the need to obtain more accurate and efficient data, agricultural intelligence is adapting and embracing new technologies such as the use of satellites for remote sensing and geographic information systems. In this respect, this study aimed to map the second harvest maize cultivation areas at Canarana-MT in the crop year 2019/2020 by using geographic object-based image analysis (GEOBIA) with different spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions. MSI/Sentinel-2, OLI/Landsat-8, MODIS-Terra and MODIS-Aqua, and PlanetScope imagery were used in this assessment. The maize crops mapping was based on cartographic basis from IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) and the Google Earth Engine (GEE), and the following steps of image filtering (gray-level co-occurrence matrix—GLCM), vegetation indices calculation, segmentation by simple non-iterative clustering (SNIC), principal component (PC) analysis, and classification by random forest (RF) algorithm, followed finally by confusion matrix analysis, kappa, overall accuracy (OA), and validation statistics. From these methods, satisfactory results were found; with OA from 86.41% to 88.65% and kappa from 81.26% and 84.61% among the imagery systems considered, the GEOBIA technique combined with the SNIC and GLCM spectral and texture feature discriminations and the RF classifier presented a mapping of the corn crop of the study area that demonstrates an improved and aided the performance of automated multispectral image classification processes.

Indonesia is a country that has a diversity of animal species with the top 10 predicate in the world. The population of animal species, including starlings, is very widely known in the country. Starlings currently in Indonesia are diverse, ranging from standard to rare in Indonesia. This starling has its characteristics based on the type, color, sound, etc. In the first problem, the first accuracy performance when using the GLCM texture feature with Artificial Neural Network is 68%. Furthermore, the second problem is the accuracy performance of typing using the GLCM texture feature with a Decision Tree of 50%.

A comparative study of Machine Learning-based classification of Tomato fungal diseases: Application of GLCM texture features

Globally, agriculture remains an important source of food and economic development. Due to various plant diseases, farmers continue to suffer huge yield losses in both quality and quantity. In this study, we explored the potential of using Artificial Neural Networks, K-Nearest Neighbors, Random Forest, and Support Vector Machine to classify tomato fungal leaf diseases: Alternaria, Curvularia, Helminthosporium, and Lasiodiplodi based on Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix texture features. Small differences between symptoms of these diseases make it difficult to use the naked eye to obtain better results in detecting and distinguishing these diseases. The Artificial Neural Network outperformed other classifiers with an overall accuracy of 94% and average scores of 93.6% for Precision, 93.8% for Recall, and 93.8% for F1-score. Generally, the models confused samples originally belonging to Helminthosporium with Curvularia. The extracted texture features show great potential to classify the different tomato leaf fungal diseases. The results of this study show that texture characteristics of the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix play a critical role in the establishment of tomato leaf disease classification systems and can facilitate the implementation of preventive measures by farmers, resulting in enhanced yield quality and quantity.

COVID-19 CT-images diagnosis and severity assessment using machine learning algorithm.

As a pandemic, the primary evaluation tool for coronavirus (COVID-19) still has serious flaws. To improve the existing situation, all facilities and tools available in this field should be used to combat the pandemic. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction is used to evaluate whether or not a person has this virus, but it cannot establish the severity of the illness. In this paper, we propose a simple, reliable, and automatic system to diagnose the severity of COVID-19 from the CT scans into three stages: mild, moderate, and severe, based on the simple segmentation method and three types of features extracted from the CT images, which are ratio of infection, statistical texture features (mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis), GLCM and GLRLM texture features. Four machine learning techniques (decision trees (DT), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), support vector machines (SVM), and Naïve Bayes) are used to classify scans. 1801 scans are divided into four stages based on the CT findings in the scans and the description file found with the datasets. Our proposed model divides into four steps: preprocessing, feature extraction, classification, and performance evaluation. Four machine learning algorithms are used in the classification step: SVM, KNN, DT, and Naive Bayes. By SVM method, the proposed model achieves 99.12%, 98.24%, 98.73%, and 99.9% accuracy for COVID-19 infection segmentation at the normal, mild, moderate, and severe stages, respectively. The area under the curve of the model is 0.99. Finally, our proposed model achieves better performance than state-of-art models. This will help the doctors know the stage of the infection and thus shorten the time and give the appropriate dose of treatment for this stage.

Identification of Tempe Fermentation Maturity Using Principal Component Analysis and K-Nearest Neighbor

Tempe is one of the traditional foods in Indonesia which has nutritional content and benefits that are very much favored by all Indonesian people. To determine the maturity of tempe, it is generally done by fermenting it into tempeh using a certain temperature and usually tempe entrepreneurs are done traditionally. But in this way, tempe producers do not know what temperature and humidity are right for tempeh maturity. In this study, researchers used the MATLAB R2018a application with a total data set of 137 raw data, 137 ripe data and 136 rotten data, totaling 410 tempe image data. The purpose of this research is to produce a system that can detect the ripeness of tempe using the KNN (K-Nearest Neighbor) method which is equipped with GLCM texture feature extraction, with extraction of 8 color features, using the PCA (Principal Component Analysis) selection feature. And compare the results with the same method, namely KNN (K-Nearest Neighbor) without using the PCA (Principal Component Analysis) selection feature with the required running time between the two. KNN with PCA selection feature gets an average accuracy value of 80.63% and takes 1.06 seconds. Compared with the same method, namely KNN without using the selection feature, it gets an average accuracy value of 81.67% with a time of 1.18 seconds.

Identification of cashmere and wool based on LBP and GLCM texture feature selection

There are invalid and redundant features in the texture feature extraction method of cashmere and wool fibers, which leads to the low recognition accuracy. In this paper, a novel texture feature selection method based on local binary pattern, the gray level co-occurrence matrix algorithm and chi-square test was proposed to sufficiently extract the effective features of these two fibers. Firstly, the collected images of cashmere and wool fibers are processed to obtain the clear texture images with background removed by pre-processing algorithm and local binary pattern. Then, the texture features are calculated by the gray level co-occurrence matrix, and the optimal 5-dimensional features are extracted by chi-square test to represent the texture information of cashmere and wool. Finally, the two fibers are automatically classified and recognized based on the support vector machine. The experimental results show that the proposed method obtained a high recognition accuracy with the percent of 94.39. It verifies that the method based on texture feature selection is effective to identify cashmere and wool fibers.

Severity Classification of Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy Using Support Vector Machine (SVM)

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is an eye disease that is the main cause of blindness in developed countries. Treatment of DR and prevention of blindness depend heavily on regular monitoring, early-stage diagnosis, and timely treatment. Vision loss can be effectively prevented by the automated diagnostic system that assists ophthalmologists who otherwise practice manual lesion detection processes which are tedious and time-consuming. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to design a system that can detect the presence of DR and be able to classify it based on its severity. In this proposed, the classification process is carried out based on image discovery by extracting GLCM texture features from 454 retinal fundus images in the IDRID database which are classified into 4 severity levels, namely normal, mild NPDR, moderate NPDR, and severe NPDR. The features obtained from each image will be used as input for the classification process using SVM. As a result, the classification system that has been trained is able to classify 4 levels of DR severity with an average accuracy of 89.55%, a sensitivity of 81.03%, and a specificity of 92.89%. Based on the results of the evaluation of the performance of this classification system, it can be concluded that the specificity value is higher than the specificity value, this indicates that the system that has been trained has a good ability to identify negative samples or those that indicate a class.

Assessing the capabilities of high-resolution spectral, altimetric, and textural descriptors for mapping the status of citrus parcels

Agricultural land abandonment is an increasing phenomenon around the world with relevant environmental and socio-economic implications. In the European Union about 11 % of agricultural land is at high risk of abandonment. The Comunitat Valenciana region (Spain) is the most important citrus producer in Europe suffering from this problem. Identifying the status of citrus crops at the parcel level is essential for policymakers in agriculture. This work assessed the use of WorldView-3 data, Very High-Resolution Airborne Images, and Structure from Motion point clouds to identify the status of citrus parcels using two machine learning algorithms: Random Forest and Support Vector Machines. Different analyses involving combinations of the three data sources were carried out to assess the impact on classification accuracy. The results showed the high potential of airborne imagery (OA ≈ 0.967) and WorldView-3 (OA ≈ 0.936) to detect parcel status using a single image. The SfM data showed a lower potential (OA ≈ 0.825). Adding SfM point cloud to the multispectral information produced small improvements (0.4–2.0 %) in classification accuracy. The class separability analysis showed the importance of WV-3 SWIR bands to detect abandoned parcels as they produce more spectral separability over the productive parcels in the 1570 nm – 2330 nm spectrum. The results also show the importance of GLCM texture features extracted from sub-metric images due to their ability to model spatial planting patterns typical of fruit crops.

Red Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus costaricensis) Ripeness Color Classification by Naïve Bayes Algorithm

Dragon fruit is a unique fruit that is popular in Indonesia. besides having a sweet taste, this fruit also contains fiber, vitamins and minerals that are good for health. Dinas Pertanian Kabupaten Banyuwangi noted that the total dragon fruit production was 906,511.61 tons and the total productivity was 261.14 Kw/Ha in 2018. This shows that Kabupaten Banyuwangi is one of the largest producers of red dragon fruit in East Java Province. One of the problems in determining the quality of dragon fruit is choosing the harvest time, considering that dragon fruit is a non-climatic fruit. Non-climateric fruit is when we harvest fruit in its raw state, the fruit will never become ripe, so determining the harvest time for dragon fruit is very important. The determination made by paying discoloration and sizes of dragon fruit that is considered less effective. To overcome this, a system was created that was able to determine the level of dragon fruit maturity automatically by utilizing digital image processing techniques and intelligent systems. The parameters used are color features and GLCM texture features using angles 0°, 45°, 90° and 135° These features are parameters in the classification process using the Naïve Bayes method. Naïve bayes is able to classify the level of maturity of red dragon fruit (Hylocereus costaricensis) with an accuracy rate of 87.37%.

Cotton stubble detection based on wavelet decomposition and texture features

BackgroundAt present, the residual film pollution in cotton fields is crucial. The commonly used recycling method is the manual-driven recycling machine, which is heavy and time-consuming. The development of a visual navigation system for the recovery of residual film is conducive, in order to improve the work efficiency. The key technology in the visual navigation system is the cotton stubble detection. A successful cotton stubble detection can ensure the stability and reliability of the visual navigation system.MethodsFirstly, it extracts the three types of texture features of GLCM, GLRLM and LBP, from the three types of images of stubbles, residual films and broken leaves between rows. It then builds three classifiers: Random Forest, Back Propagation Neural Network and Support Vector Machine in order to classify the sample images. Finally, the possibility of improving the classification accuracy using the texture features extracted from the wavelet decomposition coefficients, is discussed.ResultsThe experiment proves that the GLCM texture feature of the original image has the best performance under the Back Propagation Neural Network classifier. As for the different wavelet bases, the vertical coefficient texture feature of coif3 wavelet decomposition, combined with the texture feature of the original image, is the feature having the best classification effect. Compared with the original image texture features, the classification accuracy is increased by 3.8%, the sensitivity is increased by 4.8%, and the specificity is increased by 1.2%.ConclusionsThe algorithm can complete the task of stubble detection in different locations, different periods and abnormal driving conditions, which shows that the wavelet coefficient texture feature combined with the original image texture feature is a useful fusion feature for detecting stubble and can provide a reference for different crop stubble detection.

Crops Fine Classification in Airborne Hyperspectral Imagery Based on Multi-Feature Fusion and Deep Learning

Hyperspectral imagery has been widely used in precision agriculture due to its rich spectral characteristics. With the rapid development of remote sensing technology, the airborne hyperspectral imagery shows detailed spatial information and temporal flexibility, which open a new way to accurate agricultural monitoring. To extract crop types from the airborne hyperspectral images, we propose a fine classification method based on multi-feature fusion and deep learning. In this research, the morphological profiles, GLCM texture and endmember abundance features are leveraged to exploit the spatial information of the hyperspectral imagery. Then, the multiple spatial information is fused with the original spectral information to generate classification result by using the deep neural network with conditional random field (DNN+CRF) model. Specifically, the deep neural network (DNN) is a deep recognition model which can extract depth features and mine the potential information of data. As a discriminant model, conditional random field (CRF) considers both spatial and contextual information to reduce the misclassification noises while keeping the object boundaries. Moreover, three multiple feature fusion approaches, namely feature stacking, decision fusion and probability fusion, are taken into account. In the experiments, two airborne hyperspectral remote sensing datasets (Honghu dataset and Xiong’an dataset) are used. The experimental results show that the classification performance of the proposed method is satisfactory, where the salt and pepper noise is decreased, and the boundary of the ground object is preserved.

Peanuts are a food crop commodity that Indonesians widely consume as a vegetable fat and protein source. However, the quality and quantity of peanut productivity may decline, one of which is due to plant diseases. Efforts that can be made to maintain peanut productivity are the application of technology to detect peanut plant diseases early; thus, disease control can be carried out earlier. This study presents a technology development application, particularly digital image processing, to identify disease features of infected peanut leaves based on GLCM texture features and colour features in the HSV colour space and classified using the SVM method. The development of the SVM method that is applied is the Multiclass SVM with the DAGSVM strategy, which can classify more than two classes. Based on the experimental results, it confirms that the combination of HSV colour features and GLCM texture features with an angular orientation of 0 degrees and classified by the Multiclass SVM method with polynomial kernels produces the highest accuracy, i.e. 99.1667% for leaf spot class, 97.5% for leaf rust class, 98.8333% for eyespot class, 100% for normal leaf class and 100% for other leaf class.

Vision based inspection system for leather surface defect detection using fast convergence particle swarm optimization ensemble classifier approach

Surface defect inspection plays a vital role in leather manufacturing. Current practice involves an expert to inspect each piece of leather individually and detect defects manually. However, such a manual inspection is highly subjective and varies quite considerably from one assorter to another. Computer vision system for natural material like leather is a challenging research problem. This study describes the application of computer vision system to capture leather surface images and use of a novel Fast Convergence Particle Swarm Optimization (FCPSO) algorithm on a set of handcrafted texture features viz., GLCM and classified using supervised classifiers viz., Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP), Decision Tree (DT), SVM, Naive Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) and Random Forest (RF). FCPSO using modified fitness function by selective band Shannon entropy is implemented to segment industrial leather images. Segmentation efficiency of the proposed FCPSO algorithm is evaluated and its performance is compared with other optimization algorithms. Efficiency of the segmentation algorithms is evaluated using performance measures such as average difference (AD), Area Error Rate (AER), Edge-based structural similarity index (ESSIM), F-Score, Normalized correlation coefficient (NK), Overlap Error (OE), structural content (SC), Structural similarity index (SSIM) and Zijdenbos similarity index (ZSI). Correlation of the segmented area using FCPSO with the experts’ ground truth is found to be high with R value of 0.84. Feature extraction is carried out using GLCM texture features and the most prominent features were selected using statistical t-test and correlation coefficient. Experimental results showed encouraging results for random forest classifier confirming the potential of the proposed system for automatic leather defect classification.

Abstract An apple is a fruit that is widely planted in mountainous or cold regions, for example in Malang. Apples are fruits that have many colors, there are green, yellow, and red colors. With a variety of colors that make consumers feel confused whether the apples to be eaten are sweet or sour. Because almost most consumers do not know the type of apple that will be purchased. Sometimes the type of apple that will be purchased is green, but because it does not know ripe or raw, it is wrong to choose. In order to help consumers in knowing the level of maturity of apple again, a system was made. With the aim to be able to classify the level of maturity of the apple again. So that the system created will display information whether the apple is more ripe or raw. The system will process the image of the apple again and take the GLCM texture features (intensity, contrast, energy, smoothness, entropy, skewness). And the process of determining fruit maturity using the KNN method. The system was built using the matlab tool, with 200 datasets, consisting of 130 training datasets, and 70 testing datasets. In applying the KNN algorithm to determine the maturity level of apples, the accuracy results are 51.4%. With output data that is not in accordance with the target number of 34 data and according to the target number of 36 data.

Implementing Relevance Feedback for Content-Based Medical Image Retrieval

Content-based image medical retrieval (CBMIR) is a technique for retrieving medical images on the basis of automatically derived image features such as colour, texture and shape. There are many applications of CBMIR, such as teaching, research, diagnosis and electronic patient records. The retrieval performance of a CBMIR system depends mainly on the representation of image features, which researchers have studied extensively for decades. Although a number of methods and approaches have been suggested, it remains one of the most challenging problems in current (CBMIR) studies, largely due to the well-known “semantic gap” issue that exists between machine-captured low-level image features and human-perceived high-level semantic concepts. There have been many techniques proposed to bridge this gap. This study proposes a novel relevance feedback retrieval method (RFRM) for CBMIR. The feedback implemented here is based on voting values performed by each class in the image repository. Here, eighteen using colour moments and GLCM texture features were extracted to represent each image and eight common similarity coefficients were used as similarity measures. After briefly researching using a single random image query, the top images retrieved from each class are used as voters to select the most effective similarity coefficient that will be used for the final searching process. Our proposed method is implemented on the Kvasir dataset, which has 4,000 images divided into eight classes and was recently widely used for gastrointestinal disease detection. Intensive statistical analysis of the results shows that our proposed RFRM method has the best performance for enhancing both recall and precision when it uses any group of similarity coefficients.
