Background: Deep learning surpasses many traditional methods for many vision tasks, allowing the transformation of hierarchical features into more abstract, high-level features.

Purpose: To evaluate the prognostic value of preoperative computed tomography (CT) image texture features and deep learning self-learning high-throughput features (SHF) on postoperative overall survival in the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).

Material And Methods: The dataset consisted of 810 enrolled patients with CRC confirmed from 10 November 2011 to 10 February 2018. In contrast, SHF extracted by deep learning with multi-task training mechanism and texture features were extracted from the CT with tumor volume region of interest, respectively, and combined with the Cox proportional hazard (CoxPH) model for initial validation to obtain a RAD score to classify patients into high- and low-risk groups. The SHF stability was further validated in combination with Neural Multi-Task Logistic Regression (N-MTLR) model. The overall recognition ability and accuracy of CoxPH and N-MTLR model were evaluated by C-index and Integrated Brier Score (IBS).

Results: SHF had a more significant degree of differentiation than texture features. The result is (SHF vs. texture features: C-index: 0.884 vs. 0.611; IBS: 0.025 vs. 0.073) in the CoxPH model, and (SHF vs. texture features: C-index: 0.861 vs. 0.630; IBS: 0.024 vs. 0.065) in N-MTLR.

Conclusion: SHF is superior to texture features and has potential application for the preoperative prediction of the individualized treatment of CRC.

Purpose: There are attempts to assess tumor heterogeneity by texture analysis. However, the ordered subsets-expectation maximization (OSEM) reconstruction method has problems depicting heterogeneities. The aim of this study was to identify image reconstruction parameters that improve the ability to depict internal tumor necrosis using a self-made phantom that simulates internal necrosis.

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.

The automated detection of yarn margins is crucial for ensuring the continuity and quality of production in textile workshops. Traditional methods rely on workers visually inspecting the yarn margin to determine the timing of replacement; these methods fail to provide real-time data and cannot meet the precise scheduling requirements of modern production. The complex environmental conditions in textile workshops, combined with the cylindrical shape and repetitive textural features of yarn bobbins, limit the application of traditional visual solutions.
