Extraction of texture features aimed to detect glaucoma defects
Daněk, Daniel ; Kolář, Radim (referee) ; Odstrčilík, Jan (advisor)
The thesis deals with an automatic method of texture analysis using Markov random fields texture modeling. The main aim of this work is to find out relevant textural features, which can be used for appropriate classification of the degree of retinal nerve fiber layer loss. The model of Markovian statistic uses a circular symmetric neighborhood structure and a least square error estimation of the model's parameter. Obtained textural features were quantitatively evaluated using correlation analysis. The results show, that there is a significant correlation between proposed textural features and RNFL thickness measured by OCT. Thus, the features can potentially serve for glaucoma diagnosis.

Texture modeling applied to medical images
Remeš, Václav ; Haindl, Michal (advisor)
and contributions This thesis presents novel descriptive multidimensional Markovian textural models applied to computer aided diagnosis in the field of X-ray mammogra- phy. These general mathematical models, applicable in wide areas of texture modeling outside X-ray mammography as well, provide ideal visual verification using synthesis of the corresponding measured data spaces, contrary to stan- dard discriminative models. All achieved results in the thesis are extensively benchmarked. The thesis presents two methods for breast density classification in X-ray mammography. The methods were tested on the widely known MIAS database and the state-of-the art INbreast database, with competitive results. Several methods for completely automatic mammogram texture enhance- ment are presented. These methods are based on the descriptive textural mod- els developed in the thesis which automatically adapt to the analyzed X-ray texture, thus being universal for any type of input without the need of further manual tuning of specific parameters. The methods' outputs highlight regions of interest, detected as textural abnormalities. The methods provide the pos- sibility of enhancement tuned to specific types of mammogram tissue. Hence, the enhanced mammograms can help radiologists to decrease their false negative...
