Can the analysis of chromatin texture and nuclear fractal dimensions serve as effective means to distinguish non-invasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features from other malignancies with follicular pattern in the thyroid?: a study

ABSTRACT Objective Thyroid carcinoma ranks as the 9th most prevalent global cancer, accounting for 586,202 cases and 43,636 deaths in 2020. Computerized image analysis, utilizing artificial intelligence algorithms, emerges as a potential tool for tumor evaluation. Aim This study aims to assess and compare chromatin textural characteristics and nuclear dimensions in follicular neoplasms through gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), fractal, and morphometric analysis. Method A retrospective cross-sectional study involving 115 thyroid malignancies, specifically 49 papillary thyroid carcinomas with follicular morphology, was conducted from July 2021 to July 2023. Ethical approval was obtained, and histopathological examination, along with image analysis, was performed using ImageJ software. Results A statistically significant difference was observed in contrast (2.426 (1.774–3.412) vs 2.664 (1.963–3.610), p = .002), correlation (1.202 (1.071–1.298) vs 0.892 (0.833–0.946), p = .01), and ASM (0.071 (0.090–0.131) vs 0.044 (0.019–0.102), p = .036) between NIFTP and IFVPTC. However, morphometric parameters did not yield statistically significant differences among histological variants Conclusion Computerized image analysis, though promising in subtype discrimination, requires further refinement and integration with traditional diagnostic parameters. The study suggests potential applications in scenarios where conventional histopathological assessment faces limitations due to limited tissue availability. Despite limitations such as a small sample size and a retrospective design, the findings contribute to understanding thyroid carcinoma characteristics and underscore the need for comprehensive evaluations integrating various diagnostic modalities.

Combination of gray level co-occurrence matrix and artificial neural networks for classification of COVID-19 based on chest X-ray images

This research uses the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) and artificial neural networks to classify COVID-19 images based on chest X-ray images. According to previous studies, there has never been a researcher who has integrated GLCM with artificial neural networks. Epochs 10, 30, 50, 70, 100, and 120 were used in this research. The total number of data points used in this investigation was 600, divided into 300 normal chests and 300 COVID-19 data points. Epoch 10 had 91% accuracy, epoch 30 had 91% accuracy, epoch 50 had 92% accuracy, epoch 70 had 91% accuracy, epoch 100 had 92% accuracy, and epoch 120 had 90% accuracy in categorization. As indicated by the results of the classification tests, combining GLCM and artificial neural networks can produce good results; a combination of these methods can yield a classification for COVID-19.

Enhanced convolutional neural network enabled optimized diagnostic model for COVID-19 detection

Computed tomography (CT) films are used to construct cross-sectional pictures of a particular region of the body by using many x-ray readings that were obtained at various angles. There is a general agreement in the medical community at this time that chest CT is the most accurate approach for identifying COVID-19 disease. It was demonstrated that chest CT had a higher sensitivity than reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the detection of COVID-19 illness. This article presents gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) texture feature extraction and convolutional neural network (CNN)-enabled optimized diagnostic model for COVID-19 detection. In this diagnostic model, CT scan images of patients are given as input. Firstly, GLCM algorithm is used to extract texture features from the CT scan images. This feature extraction helps in achieving higher classification accuracy. Classification is performed using CNN. It achieves higher accuracy than the k-nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm and multi-layer preceptor (MLP). The accuracy of GLCM based CNN is 99%, F1 score is 99% and the recall rate is also 98%. CNN has achieved better results than MLP and KNN algorithms for COVID-19 detection.

Artificial intelligence-based prediction model of malignant lung nodules for preoperative planning.

8034 Background: The histopathological prediction of malignant lung nodules is crucial for preoperative planning, but it always remains not precise until the detailed pathological evaluation is performed after the surgery. Thus, to define the histology types (in situ adenocarcinoma (AIS), microinvasive adenocarcinoma (MIA), and invasive adenocarcinoma (IA)) of pulmonary adenocarcinoma appearing as lung nodules before the operation and reduce unnecessary invasive diagnosis and treatment operations, we developed a classification model of based on CT images. Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with pulmonary adenocarcinoma (tumor diameter ≤ 3cm) at Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, China, were retrospectively enrolled, including detailed pathology results, computed tomography (CT) images, and basic information. Through training the model proposed in our previous study, we proposed a new model for defining histopathological types. Then, we used this data to train and compare the diagnostic efficacy of our model with another previously reported deep learning (DL) model (that was a segmentation - classification model with the 3D Unet++ - ResNet-50 combined model) and machine learning (ML) model (that was a traditional model Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrices (GLCM) as the feature extractor and the support vector machine (SVM) as the classifier) in the same method. Results: A total of 2061 patients (with 395 of AIS, 334 of MIA and 1332 of IA) were retrospectively enrolled from January 2019 to April 2022. The data from 2/3 of the patients were randomly selected for training and another 1/3 for verifying. Through training and verifying, our model shows much better diagnostic efficacy, with areas under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves with 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.97(0.96, 0.98), comparing with those of the ML model of 0.77(0.73, 0.81) and the DL model of (0.90(0.88, 0.92). The heatmap visualization of the proposed model shows the classification ability with prediction probabilities of our model clearly and understandably. Conclusions: In this study, we developed a novel artificial intelligence multi-task learning model to precisely predict the pathology type of malignant lung nodules with satisfying diagnostic efficacy, which might provide a new and reliable way for preoperative planning of lung nodules. Further external verifying should be done in the future. In addition, prediction of the growth patterns of pulmonary adenocarcinoma could be more helpful in addition to predicting histopathological types.

Application of graph-curvature features in computer-aided diagnosis for histopathological image identification of gastric cancer

BackgroundHistopathology diagnosis is often regarded as the final diagnostic method for malignant tumors; however, it has some drawbacks. This study explored a computer-aided diagnostic method that can be used to identify benign and malignant gastric cancer using histopathological images. MethodsThe most suitable process was selected through multiple experiments by comparing multiple methods and features for classification. First, the U-net was applied to segment the image. Next, the nucleus was extracted from the segmented image, and the minimum spanning tree (MST) diagram structure that can capture the topological information was drawn. The third step was to extract the graph-curvature features of the histopathological image according to the MST image. Finally, by inputting the graph-curvature features into the classifier, the recognition results for benign or malignant cancer can be obtained. ResultsDuring the experiment, we used various methods for comparison. In the image segmentation stage, U-net, watershed algorithm, and Otsu threshold segmentation methods were used. We found that the U-net method, combined with multiple indicators, was the most suitable for segmentation of histopathological images. In the feature extraction stage, in addition to extracting graph-edge and graph-curvature features, several basic image features were extracted, including the red, green and blue feature, gray-level co-occurrence matrix feature, histogram of oriented gradient feature, and local binary pattern feature. In the classifier design stage, we experimented with various methods, such as support vector machine (SVM), random forest, artificial neural network, K nearest neighbors, VGG-16, and inception-V3. Through comparison and analysis, it was found that classification results with an accuracy of 98.57% can be obtained by inputting the graph-curvature feature into the SVM classifier. ConclusionThis study created a unique feature, the graph-curvature feature, based on the MST to represent and analyze histopathological images. This graph-based feature could be used to identify benign and malignant cells in histopathological images and assist pathologists in diagnosis.

Clinical Variables and Radiomics Features for Predicting Pneumothorax in Patients Undergoing CT-guided Transthoracic Core Needle Biopsy.

Purpose To develop a prediction model combining both clinical and CT texture analysis radiomics features for predicting pneumothorax complications in patients undergoing CT-guided core needle biopsy. Materials and Methods A total of 424 patients (mean age, 65.6 years ± 12.7 [SD]; 232 male, 192 female) who underwent CT-guided core needle biopsy between January 2021 and October 2022 were retrospectively included as the training data set. Clinical and procedure-related characteristics were documented. Texture analysis radiomics features were extracted from the subpleural lung parenchyma traversed by needle. Moderate pneumothorax was defined as a postprocedure air rim of 2 cm or greater. The prediction model was developed using logistic regression with backward elimination, presented by linear fusion of the selected features weighted by their coefficients. Model performance was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Validation was conducted in an external cohort (n = 45; mean age, 58.2 years ± 12.7; 19 male, 26 female) from a different hospital. Results Moderate pneumothorax occurred in 12.0% (51 of 424) of the training cohort and 8.9% (four of 45) of the external test cohort. Patients with emphysema (P < .001) or a longer needle path length (P = .01) exhibited a higher incidence of moderate pneumothorax in the training cohort. Texture analysis features, including gray-level co-occurrence matrix cluster shade (P < .001), gray-level run-length matrix low gray-level run emphasis (P = .049), gray-level run-length matrix run entropy (P = .003), gray-level size-zone matrix gray-level variance (P < .001), and neighboring gray-tone difference matrix complexity (P < .001), showed higher values in patients with moderate pneumothorax. The combined clinical-radiomics model demonstrated satisfactory performance in both the training (AUC 0.78, accuracy = 71.9%) and external test cohorts (AUC 0.86, accuracy 73.3%). Conclusion The model integrating both clinical and radiomics features offered practical diagnostic performance and accuracy for predicting moderate pneumothorax in patients undergoing CT-guided core needle biopsy.

Experimental and Numerical Study of Computer Vision-Based Real-Time Monitoring of Polymeric Particle Mixing Process in Rotary Drum.

In the drum mixing of particulate polymers, segregation may occur. By measuring the mixing status in real time, it is possible to implement corrective measures to prevent separation and improve the efficiency of the process. This study aims to develop and validate a real-time vision system designed to monitor the mixing process of polymeric particles in a rotary drum mixer, employing a novel centroid-based model for determining the mixing index. The proposed centroid-based model is capable of addressing the radial particle segregation issue without the need for extra image-processing procedures like image subdivision or pixel randomization. This innovative approach greatly improves computational efficiency by processing over 68 image frames per second. The new processing method is 2.8 times faster than the gray-level co-occurrence matrix method and 21.6 times faster than the Lacey index approach. This significantly improves real-time monitoring capabilities and enables real-time image processing using only affordable single-board computers and webcams. The proposed vision-based system for monitoring rotary drum mixing has undergone validation via cross-validation using discrete element method simulations, ensuring its accuracy and reliability.

AI-based model for automatic identification of multiple sclerosis based on enhanced sea-horse optimizer and MRI scans

This study aims to develop an AI-enhanced methodology for the expedited and accurate diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a chronic disease affecting the central nervous system leading to progressive impairment. Traditional diagnostic methods are slow and require substantial expertise, underscoring the need for innovative solutions. Our approach involves two phases: initially, extracting features from brain MRI images using first-order histograms, the gray level co-occurrence matrix, and local binary patterns. A unique feature selection technique combining the Sine Cosine Algorithm with the Sea-horse Optimizer is then employed to identify the most significant features. Utilizing the eHealth lab dataset, which includes images from 38 MS patients (mean age 34.1 ± 10.5 years; 17 males, 21 females) and matched healthy controls, our model achieved a remarkable 97.97% detection accuracy using the k-nearest neighbors classifier. Further validation on a larger dataset containing 262 MS cases (199 females, 63 males; mean age 31.26 ± 10.34 years) and 163 healthy individuals (109 females, 54 males; mean age 32.35 ± 10.30 years) demonstrated a 92.94% accuracy for FLAIR images and 91.25% for T2-weighted images with the Random Forest classifier, outperforming existing MS detection methods. These results highlight the potential of the proposed technique as a clinical decision-making tool for the early identification and management of MS.

Fault diagnosis of rolling bearings under varying speeds based on gray level co-occurrence matrix and DCCNN

Rolling bearings are widely used in various industries, including rail transit, aerospace, and wind power generation, playing a critical role. However, bearing failures can lead to serious consequences, impacting equipment operation and even causing safety accidents. Hence, the diagnosis of bearing faults is of utmost importance. However, the variable speed conditions experienced during bearing operation pose significant challenges to fault diagnosis. To overcome the limitations of traditional methods in diagnosing bearing faults under variable speed conditions, this paper proposes a fault diagnosis method based on the gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) and Dual Channel Convolutional Neural Network (DCCNN). The method introduces a two-dimensional grayscale matrix construction (2D-GMC) technique to extract grayscale texture features for fault diagnosis. Additionally, an unconventional kernel design method, based on grayscale image contrast, is proposed to reduce the complexity associated with traditional square kernels. A new DCCNN architecture is developed accordingly. Furthermore, the transfer learning concept is utilized to train the proposed DCCNN model using fault signals at specific rotational speeds. The method intercepts the variable speed into multi-speed short-time series, then constructs gray image under different speed to realize the rapid fault diagnosis of bearings under variable speed conditions.

Hot rolled steel surface defect detection and classification using an automatic ensemble approach

This study introduces an ensemble-based Deep Neural Network (DNN) model for detecting defects on steel surfaces. The method suggested in this study classifies steel surface conditions into six possible fault categories, namely, crazing, inclusion, rolled in, pitted surface, scratches, and patches. The images undergo preprocessing and extraction of features in spatial and frequency domains using image segmentation techniques such as grey level difference method (GLDM), fast Fourier Transform (FFT), grey level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), texture analysis and discrete wavelet transform (DWT). The ensembling of image features into a fused feature pool is carried out after the preprocessing of input images that are provided as input to a light-weight neural network model for training and testing. The performance of the model is comprehensively evaluated via an ablation study both before and after ensembling. In addition, the model capability is effectively analyzed using receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve, confusion matrix from which classification accuracy of the model could be obtained and other parameters including precision and f1-score. It was observed that the proposed deep learning network presents phenomenally high accuracy of 99.72% for detection and classification of steel surface faults. This result was found to be superior when compared with the performance of the same neural network over each feature type individually. This study also compares the classification results of the model built based on the ensembled feature set with the results of various other classification approaches available in literature. The ensemble-based model could potentially be integrated into existing inspection systems for real-time, efficient and robust condition monitoring of steel surfaces.

Characterizing the internal wave wakes and synthetic aperture radar image features of underwater moving objects

In this study, a refined and improved theoretical model was proposed for calculating the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of internal wave wakes. This model was based on an equivalent source model of internal wave wakes and the velocity-bunching principle. Wake field, scattering field, and SAR image characteristics were systematically calculated for multiple scenarios. The model described the transfer and solution processes by inputting the background flow field temperature and salinity profiles to map the radar image intensity distribution. The physical mechanisms of the internal wave wake generation and its capture by SAR were comprehensively explained. The effects of various parameters on the internal wave wake SAR images were analyzed comprehensively. The SAR image features containing internal wave wakes were determined based on the gray-level co-occurrence matrix and image power spectrum, which revealed that the maximum surface current induced by the internal wave modes of the same amplitude was considerably larger than that induced by surface-wave mode. When traveling far from the water surface, the rate of change in the total scattering coefficient because of the Bragg effect was approximately 20 times that of the slope effect. In SAR images, the recognizability of wakes depends primarily on the maximum intensity rather than the average disturbance on the sea surface. Therefore, SAR images exhibit considerable differences during downwind radar observations, with the most prominent contrast differences occurring at the maximum spreading angle of wake scattering and 1500 m behind underwater objects. In the image power spectrum, the frequency range of the first modal internal waves was approximately 10–30 Hz, whereas the higher-order modal internal waves had frequencies lower than 10 Hz. Furthermore, the frequency range of the surface-wave mode was larger than that of internal-wave modes, approximately 50–60 Hz.

A novel machine learning model for efficacy prediction of immunotherapy-chemotherapy in NSCLC based on CT radiomics

Lung cancer is categorized into two main types: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer. Of these, NSCLC accounts for approximately 85% of all cases and encompasses varieties such as squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. For patients with advanced NSCLC that do not have oncogene addiction, the preferred treatment approach is a combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy. However, the progression-free survival (PFS) typically ranges only from about 6 to 8 months, accompanied by certain adverse events. In order to carry out individualized treatment more effectively, it is urgent to accurately screen patients with PFS for more than 12 months under this treatment regimen. Therefore, this study undertook a retrospective collection of pulmonary CT images from 60 patients diagnosed with NSCLC treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. It developed a machine learning model, designated as bSGSRIME-SVM, which integrates the rime optimization algorithm with self-adaptive Gaussian kernel probability search (SGSRIME) and support vector machine (SVM) classifier. Specifically, the model initiates its process by employing the SGSRIME algorithm to identify pivotal image features. Subsequently, it utilizes an SVM classifier to assess these features, aiming to enhance the model's predictive accuracy. Initially, the superior optimization capability and robustness of SGSRIME in IEEE CEC 2017 benchmark functions were validated. Subsequently, employing color moments and gray-level co-occurrence matrix methods, image features were extracted from images of 60 NSCLC patients undergoing immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy. The developed model was then utilized for analysis. The results indicate a significant advantage of the model in predicting the efficacy of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy for NSCLC, with an accuracy of 92.381% and a specificity of 96.667%. This lays the foundation for more accurate PFS predictions and personalized treatment plans.

A Novel Technique for Facial Recognition Based on the GSO-CNN Deep Learning Algorithm

Face recognition is one of the important elements that can be used for securing the facilities, emotion recognition, sentiment exploration, fraud analysis, and traffic pattern analysis. Intelligent face recognition has yielded excellent accuracy in a controlled environment whereas vice versa in an uncontrolled environment. However, conventional methods can no longer satisfy the demand at present due to their low recognition accuracy and restrictions on many occasions. This study proposed an optimal deep learning-based face recognition system that improves the security of the model developed in the IoT cloud environment. Initially, the dataset of images was gathered from the public repository. The captured images are explored using image processing techniques like image preprocessing employing the Gaussian filter technique for removing the noise and smoothing the image. The histogram of oriented gradients (HOGs) is used for the image segmentation. The processed images are preserved at the cloud service layer. Extract features were linked to facial activities using the spatial-temporal interest point (STIP). On the other hand, the extracted feature vectors are investigated using galactic swarm optimization (GSO) techniques that give optimized feature vectors. The necessary features are selected using the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), which separates the statistical texture features. The GSO output is fed into the deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) that effectively trains the captured face images. This will allow the effectiveness of the GSO-CNN technique to be assessed in terms of recognition accuracy, recall, precision, and error rate.

Detection and classification of invisible weld defects by magneto-optical imaging under alternating magnetic field excitation

Aiming at the difficult to detect invisible weld defects, a magneto-optical (MO) imaging non-destructive testing (NDT) system excited by an alternating magnetic field is proposed for feature extraction and detection classification of invisible weld defects. The relationship between the MO image features and the magnetic field intensity is analyzed based on the Faraday MO effect. A magnetic dipole model is proposed to study the magnetic field distribution on weld defect. A three-dimensional finite element model of invisible weld defects (with a width of 0.01 mm) is established, and the distribution of leakage magnetic field for different types of invisible defects is analyzed. In order to detect different invisible weld defects under the excitation of alternating magnetic field, MO imaging NDT experiments are carried out. The effectiveness of the finite element model is verified by the experiment. The gray value of the MO image can match the corresponding leakage magnetic field intensity. The Tamura method and gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) method are used to extract the texture features of natural invisible weld defect’s MO image, and these texture features of MO images are used as input data for the defect classification model established using back propagation (BP) neural network. Experimental results show that the classification accuracy of the GLCM + Tamura-BP model is higher than that of the GLCM-BP model, and its overall classification accuracy reaches 91.1%, indicating that this model can effectively and accurately classify natural invisible weld defects.

Classification of Impressionist and Pointillist paintings based on their brushstrokes characteristics

The classification of works of art in terms of artistic style is a complex task. Some painting styles are closely related to the form of their brushstrokes. Salient examples are Pointillism and Impressionism, having both distinguishable brushstrokes characteristics which are small, rounded of clear color, repetitive dots for Pointillism style and visible, elongated and slanting, repetitive touches for Impressionism style. As Impressionism is the ancestral style of Pointillism, the two styles have many elements in common and distinguishing them is difficult. In this paper, specific texture features are investigated for the classification of the two styles, focusing mainly on small differences of their brushstrokes. The texture features adopted are: Granulometric features, Grey level co-occurrence matrix features, and Run length features. It is shown experimentally that Run Length method outperforms the other features and can efficiently (up to 95%) discriminate the two textured styles, since it incorporates information about, size, direction and intensity of brushstrokes.

An Ensemble Classification Model to Predict Alzheimer’s Incidence as Multiple Classes

This study introduces an ensemble classification model designed to categorize Alzheimer’s disease (AD) into four distinct classes—mild dementia, no dementia, moderate dementia, and very mild dementia—using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The proposed model entitled the Ensemble Classification Model to Predict Alzheimer's Incidence as Multiple Classes (PAIMC) that integrates a six-dimensional analysis of MR images, encompassing entropies, Fractal Dimensions, Gray Level Run Length Matrix (GLRLM), Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM), morphological features, and Local Binary Patterns. A four-fold multi-label cross-validation approach was employed on a benchmark dataset to evaluate the model's performance. Quantitative analysis reveals that PAIMC consistently achieves superior Decision Accuracy, F-Score, Specificity, Sensitivity Recall, and Precision metrics compared to existing state-of-the-art models. For instance, PAIMC's Decision Accuracy and Precision outperform the second-best model by a notable margin across all folds. The model also demonstrates a significant improvement in Sensitivity Recall and Specificity, reinforcing its efficacy in the multi-class classification of AD stages. A novel data diversity assessment measure was developed and utilized, further confirming the robustness of the PAIMC model. The results underscore the potential of PAIMC as a highly accurate tool for AD classification in clinical settings.

Using optical coherence tomography to assess luster of pearls: technique suitability and insights

Luster is one of the vital indexes in pearl grading. To find a fast, nondestructive, and low-cost grading method, optical coherence tomography (OCT) is introduced to predict the luster grade through the texture features. After background removal, flattening, and segmentation, the speckle pattern of the region of interest is described by seven kinds of feature textures, including center-symmetric auto-correlation (CSAC), fractal dimension (FD), Gabor, gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), histogram of oriented gradients (HOG), laws texture energy (LAWS), and local binary patterns (LBP). To find the relations between speckle-derived texture features and luster grades, four Four groups of pearl samples were used in the experiment to detect texture differences based on support vector machines (SVMs) and random forest classifier (RFC)) for investigating the relations between speckle-derived texture features and luster grades. The precision, recall, F1-score, and accuracy are more significant than 0.9 in several simulations, even after dimension reduction. This demonstrates that the texture feature from OCT images can be applied to class the pearl luster based on speckle changes.

IDENTIFICATION OF POTATO LEAF DISEASES USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS WITH EXTREME LEARNING MACHINE ALGORITHM

Potato plants have an important role in providing a source of carbohydrates for society. However, potato production is often threatened by various plant diseases, such as leaf disease, which can cause a decrease in yields. Identification of diseases on potato leaves is currently mostly done by farmers manually, so it is not always efficient and accurate. So the aim of this research is to identify diseases on potato leaves with artificial neural networks using the ELM (Extreme Learning Machine) approach and the GLCM (Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix) method for feature extraction. The GLCM approach functions to obtain texture features on objects by measuring how often certain pairs of pixel intensities appear together at various distances and directions in the image. Meanwhile, the ELM algorithm is used for image identification by adopting a one-time training method without iteration, which involves randomly determining weights and biases in hidden layers, thus allowing training to be carried out quickly and efficiently. Evaluation of the model by looking for the level of accuracy produces a value of 84.667%. The results show that the model developed is capable of accurate identification.
