본 연구는 간 초음파영상에서 통계적 속성 기반의 밝기 히스토그램에 기초한 픽셀 질감분석 파라미터(평균밝기, 왜곡도, 균일도, 엔트로피)와 간과 콩팥실질의 밝기 차를 이용한 영상분석을 통해 미만성 간질환의 컴퓨터보조진단 적용 가능성을 알아보고자 하였다. 실험은 간 초음파영상(정상, 지방간, 간경화)에서 관심영역($50{\times}50$픽셀)을 설정하고 4가지의 픽셀 질감분석 파라미터와 간과 콩팥의 실질 밝기의 차를 이용하여 질환인식률을 평가하였다. 그 결과 평균밝기, 균일도, 엔트로피의 질환인식률은 100%, 왜곡도 96%로 높게 나타났으며, 간과 콩팥의 실질 밝기 차는 정상 $-1.129{\pm}12.410$, 지방간 $33.182{\pm}11.826$으로 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내었으나, 간경화의 경우 $-1.668{\pm}10.081$로 정상과는 다소 작은 차이를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 높은 질환인식률을 보인 픽셀 질감분석 파라미터와 실질 밝기 차를 이용한 컴퓨터보조진단은 미만성 간질환의 감별에 유용한 도구로써 임상적인 활용 가능성이 있으며, 판독 오류를 최소화하고 정확한 진단과 치료방향 제시에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

Surface roughness is one of the most important parameters to estimate quality of products. As this reason. so many studies were carried out through various attempts that were contact or non-contact using computer vision. Even though these efforts, there were few good results in this research. However, texture analysis is making a important role to solve these problems in various fields including universe, aviatiion, living thing and fibers. In this study, texture parameter was obtained by means of position operator according to variation of angle direction and distance. As a result, it was found that surface texture was more effected by direction then distance

화소들 사이의 관계를 고려해 Texture 영상을 생성해 내는 것을 의미하는 Texture 영상화는 유용한 영상 분석 방법 중의 하나로 잘 알려져 있고, 대부분의 상업적인 원격 탐사 소프트웨어들은 GLCM이라는 Texture 분석 기능을 제공하고 있다. 본 연구에서는, GLCM 알고리즘에 기반한 Texture 영상화 프로그램이 구현되었고, 추가적으로 GLDV에 기반을 둔 Texture 영상화 모듈 프로그램을 제공한다. 본 프로그램에서는 Homogeneity, Dissimilarity, Energy, Entropy, Angular Second Moment(ASM), Contrast 등과 같은 GLCN/GLDV의 6가지 Texture 변수에 따라 각각 이에 해당하는 Texture 영상들을 생성해 낸다. GLCM/GLDV Texture 영상 생성에서는 방향 의존성을 고려해야 하는데, 이 프로그램에서는 기본적으로 동-서, 북동-남서, 북-남, 북서-남동 등의 기본적인 방향설정을 제공한다. 또한 이 논문에서 새롭게 구현된 커널내의 모든 방향을 고려해서 평균값을 계산하는 Omni 방향 모드와 커널내의 중심 화소를 정하고_그 주변 화소에 대한 원형 방향을 고려하는 원형방향 모드를 지원한다. 또한 본 연구에서는 여러 가지 변수와 모드에 따라 얻어진 Texture 영상의 분석을 위하여 가상 영상 및 실제 위성 영상들에 의하여 생성된 Texture 영상간의 특징 분석과 상호상관 분석을 수행하였다. Texture 영상합성 응용시에는 영상의 생성시에 적용된 변수들에 대한 이해와 영상간의 상관도를 분석하는 과정이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Objective: To investigate the usefulness of computed tomography (CT) texture analysis (CTTA) in estimating histologic tumor grade and in predicting disease-free survival (DFS) after surgical resection in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Materials and Methods: Eighty-one patients with a single HCC who had undergone quadriphasic liver CT followed by surgical resection were enrolled. Texture analysis of tumors on preoperative CT images was performed using commercially available software. The mean, mean of positive pixels (MPP), entropy, kurtosis, skewness, and standard deviation (SD) of the pixel distribution histogram were derived with and without filtration. The texture features were then compared between groups classified according to histologic grade. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards analyses were performed to determine the relationship between texture features and DFS. Results: SD and MPP quantified from fine to coarse textures on arterial-phase CT images showed significant positive associations with the histologic grade of HCC (p < 0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis identified most CT texture features across the different filters from fine to coarse texture scales as significant univariate markers of DFS. Cox proportional hazards analysis identified skewness on arterial-phase images (fine texture scale, spatial scaling factor [SSF] 2.0, p < 0.001; medium texture scale, SSF 3.0, p < 0.001), tumor size (p = 0.001), microscopic vascular invasion (p = 0.034), rim arterial enhancement (p = 0.024), and peritumoral parenchymal enhancement (p = 0.010) as independent predictors of DFS. Conclusion: CTTA was demonstrated to provide texture features significantly correlated with higher tumor grade as well as predictive markers of DFS after surgical resection of HCCs in addition to other valuable imaging and clinico-pathologic parameters.

Lee(2007) suggested the Point-Jacobian iteration MAP estimation(PJIMAP) for noise removal of the images that are corrupted by multiplicative speckle noise. It is to find a MAP estimation of noisy-free imagery based on a Bayesian model using the lognormal distribution for image intensity and an MRF for image texture. When the image intensity is logarithmically transformed, the speckle noise is approximately Gaussian additive noise, and it tends to a normal probability much faster than the intensity distribution. The MRF is incorporated into digital image analysis by viewing pixel types as states of molecules in a lattice-like physical system. In this study, the MAP estimation is computed by the Point-Jacobian iteration using adaptive parameters. At each iteration, the parameters related to the Bayesian model are adaptively estimated using the updated information. The results of the proposed scheme were compared to them of PJIMAP with SAR simulation data generated by the Monte Carlo method. The experiments demonstrated an improvement in relaxing speckle noise and estimating noise-free intensity by using the adaptive parameters for the Ponit-Jacobian iteration.

In this paper, a SAR-despeck1ing approach of adaptive iteration based a Bayesian model using the lognormal distribution for image intensity and a Gibbs random field (GRF) for image texture is proposed for noise removal of the images that are corrupted by multiplicative speckle noise. When the image intensity is logarithmically transformed, the speckle noise is approximately Gaussian additive noise, and it tends to a normal probability much faster than the intensity distribution. The MRF is incorporated into digital image analysis by viewing pixel types as states of molecules in a lattice-like physical system. The iterative approach based on MRF is very effective for the inner areas of regions in the observed scene, but may result in yielding false reconstruction around the boundaries due to using wrong information of adjacent regions with different characteristics. The proposed method suggests an adaptive approach using variable parameters depending on the location of reconstructed area, that is, how near to the boundary. The proximity of boundary is estimated by the statistics based on edge value, standard deviation, entropy, and the 4th moment of intensity distribution.

This paper presents a new approach for underwater image analysis using the bi-dimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD) technique and the phase congruency information. The BEMD algorithm, fully unsupervised, it is mainly applied to texture extraction and image filtering, which are widely recognized as a difficult and challenging machine vision problem. The phase information is the very stability feature of image. Recent developments in analysis methods on the phase congruency information have received large attention by the image researchers. In this paper, the proposed method is called the EP model that inherits the advantages of the first two algorithms, so this model is suitable for processing underwater image. Moreover, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is presented in this paper to solve the problem that the threshold is greatly affected by personal experience when underwater image edge detection is performed using the EP model. The EP images are computed using combinations of the Canny detector parameters, and the binaryzation image results are generated accordingly. The ideal EP edge feature extractive maps are estimated using correspondence threshold which is optimized by ROC analysis. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is able to avoid the operation error caused by manual setting of the detection threshold, and to adaptively set the image feature detection threshold. The proposed method has been proved to be accuracy and effectiveness by the underwater image processing examples.

본 연구는 초음파영상에서 컴퓨터보조진단으로 유방질환의 병변인식률을 알아보고자 6가지 질감특성분석 파라미터(평균밝기, 대조도, 평탄도, 왜곡도, 균일도, 엔트로피) 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 2013년 8월에서 2014년 1월까지 부산소재 대학병원을 내원한 환자 중 영상의학과 전문의의 판독과 세포병리학 진단 결과를 토대로 한 90증례의 유방 초음파영상을 대상으로 하였다. 연구방법은 유방 초음파영상에서 관심영역을 $50{\times}50$ 픽셀 크기로 설정하였으며, 획득된 실험영상(정상, 양성, 악성)에 히스토그램 평활화의 전처리 과정 후 MATLAB을 이용한 질감특성분석 알고리즘의 결과값을 산출하였다. 그 결과 제안된 질감특성분석 파라미터 중 평균밝기, 왜곡도, 균일도, 엔트로피의 정상과 악성의 병변인식률은 100%로 높게 나타났으며. 정상과 양성의 병변인식률은 약 83~96%를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 유방질환에서 감별진단의 전처리 단계로 자동진단의 가능성을 나타내며, 향후 제안된 알고리즘의 추가적인 연구와 다양한 임상증례에 대한 신뢰성과 재현성이 제공된다면 컴퓨터보조진단의 실용화기반을 마련할 수 있을 것이고, 다양한 초음파 영상에 대한 적용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
