Texture Segmentation Benchmark.

IEEE Trans Pattern Anal Mach Intell

Published: September 2022

The Prague texture segmentation data-generator and benchmark (mosaic.utia.cas.cz) is a web-based service designed to mutually compare and rank (recently nearly 200) different static and dynamic texture and image segmenters, to find optimal parametrization of a segmenter and support the development of new segmentation and classification methods. The benchmark verifies segmenter performance characteristics on potentially unlimited monospectral, multispectral, satellite, and bidirectional texture function (BTF) data using an extensive set of over forty prevalent criteria. It also enables us to test for noise robustness and scale, rotation, or illumination invariance. It can be used in other applications, such as feature selection, image compression, query by pictorial example, etc. The benchmark's functionalities are demonstrated in evaluating several examples of leading previously published unsupervised and supervised image segmentation algorithms. However, they are used to illustrate the benchmark functionality and not review the recent image segmentation state-of-the-art.

Assessing vines' vigour is essential for vineyard management and automatization of viticulture machines, including shaking adjustments of berry harvesters during grape harvest or leaf pruning applications. To address these problems, based on a standardized growth class assessment, labeled ground truth data of precisely located grapevines were predicted with specifically selected Machine Learning (ML) classifiers (Random Forest Classifier (RFC), Support Vector Machines (SVM)), utilizing multispectral UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) sensor data. The input features for ML model training comprise spectral, structural, and texture feature types generated from multispectral orthomosaics (spectral features), Digital Terrain and Surface Models (DTM/DSM- structural features), and Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) calculations (texture features).

Malaria remains a global health concern, with 249 million cases and 608,000 deaths being reported by the WHO in 2022. Traditional diagnostic methods often struggle with inconsistent stain quality, lighting variations, and limited resources in endemic regions, making manual detection time-intensive and error-prone. This study introduces an automated system for analyzing Romanowsky-stained thick blood smears, focusing on image quality evaluation, leukocyte detection, and malaria parasite classification.

Instituto de Investigación en Tecnología Informática Avanzada, Universidad Nacional del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, Tandil 7000, Argentina.

: This study presents a novel approach, based on a combination of radiomic feature extraction, data resampling techniques, and machine learning algorithms, for the detection of degraded bone structures in Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) images. This comprehensive approach, which addresses the critical aspects of the problem, distinguishes this work from previous studies, improving the performance achieved by the most similar studies. The primary aim is to provide clinicians with an accessible tool for quality bone assessment, which is currently limited.

Mediterranean diet adherence has been decreasing during the last few decades, and non-appropriate snacking habits have also been identified among Mediterranean children and adolescents. To co-create new snacks and to explore children's interests and preferences, a multi-method approach was used in the present study, including some qualitative and quantitative research phases. Conducted in collaboration with schools in Lebanon, Egypt, Portugal, Italy, and Spain, different snack prototypes were designed and tested in a Mediterranean cross-cultural context.

Crop field monitoring using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is one of the most important technologies for plant growth control in modern precision agriculture. One of the important and widely used tasks in field monitoring is plant stand counting. The accurate identification of plants in field images provides estimates of plant number per unit area, detects missing seedlings, and predicts crop yield.
