Texture features for classification of ultrasonic liver images

Chung-Ming Wu, Yung-Chang Chen, Kai-Sheng Hsieh·1992·IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging

Abstract

The classification of ultrasonic liver images is studied, making use of the spatial gray-level dependence matrices, the Fourier power spectrum, the gray-level difference statistics, and the Laws texture energy measures. Features of these types are used to classify three sets of ultrasonic liver images-normal liver, hepatoma, and cirrhosis (30 samples each). The Bayes classifier and the Hotelling trace criterion are employed to evaluate the performance of these features. From the viewpoint of speed and accuracy of classification, it is found that these features do not perform well enough. Hence, a new texture feature set (multiresolution fractal features) based on multiple resolution imagery and the fractional Brownian motion model is proposed to detect diffuse liver diseases quickly and accurately. Fractal dimensions estimated at various resolutions of the image are gathered to form the feature vector. Texture information contained in the proposed feature vector is discussed. A real-time implementation of the algorithm produces about 90% correct classification for the three sets of ultrasonic liver images.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
