• Authors: Steve Tsham Mpinda Ataky and Alessandro Lameiras Koerich
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel approach capable of quantifying a complex system of diverse patterns through species diversity and richness and taxonomic distinctiveness. The proposed approach considers each image channel as a species ecosystem and computes species diversity and richness measures as well as taxonomic measures to describe the texture.

• Abstract: Texture can be defined as the change of image intensity that forms repetitive patterns, resulting from physical properties of the object's roughness or differences in a reflection on the surface. Considering that texture forms a complex system of patterns in a non-deterministic way, biodiversity concepts can help to its characterization. In this paper, we propose a novel approach capable of quantifying such a complex system of diverse patterns through species diversity and richness, and taxonomic distinctiveness. The proposed approach considers each image channel as a species ecosystem and computes species diversity and richness measures as well as taxonomic measures to describe the texture. The proposed approach takes advantage of the invariance characteristics of ecological patterns to build a permutation, rotation, and translation invariant descriptor. Experimental results on three datasets of natural texture images and two datasets of histopathological images have shown that the proposed texture descriptor has advantages over several texture descriptors and deep methods.

  This article presents a general Bayesian learning framework for multi-modal groupwise image registration.

  Texture, color and shape are three main components which are used by human visual system to recognize image contents. Some state-of-the-art methods are survived that use texture analysis in medical applications and disease diagnosis. Results demonstrate that texture features separately or in joint of different feature sets such as deep, color or shape features provide high accuracy in medical image classification.

  This paper proposes a semi-supervised classification method for three kinds of apicomplexan parasites and non-infected host cells microscopic images. It uses a small number of labeled data and a large number of unlabeled data for training. In the case where only 1% of microscopic images are labeled, the proposed method reaches an accuracy of 94.90% in a generalized testing set.

  The goal of this paper is to embed controllable factors, i.e., natural language descriptions, into image-to-image translation with generative adversarial networks. We propose four key components: (1) the implementation of part-of-speech tagging to filter out non-semantic words in the given description, (2) the adoption of an affine combination module to effectively fuse different modality text and image features, and (3) a novel refined multi-stage architecture to strengthen the differential ability of discriminators and the rectification ability of generators.
