The purpose of image smoothing is to improve the visual effect of the image and improve the clarity of the image, so as to make the image more conducive to computer processing and various feature analysis. Because the current technology fails to smooth the preprocessed image, it leads to the extraction of image texture features. The anti-interference performance is weak. For this reason, an image texture feature extraction technology based on the digital twin is proposed. Similarity analysis is carried out through the internal structure of the image, and the image is smoothed by the semisupervised learning method. On the basis of optimizing the denoised image through digital twinning, detect target feature points in the original image, then remove the abnormal and split feature points, assign the direction of image texture feature points, and build a fuzzy back propagation neural network model. Image texture feature extraction technology is implemented. The experimental results show that, compared with the traditional method, the proposed technique has a strong identification of original image features, and has a strong consistency with original data, and has a strong ability to resist the influence of abnormal data, noise, or redundant feature points.

Image processing technology assists physicians in the analysis of athletes' human motion injuries, not only to improve the accuracy of athletes' injury detection but also to improve the localization and recognition of injury locations. It is important to accurately segment human motion injury ultrasound medical images. To address many problems such as poor effect of traditional ultrasonic medical image segmentation algorithm for a sports injury. Therefore, we propose a segmentation algorithm for human motion injury ultrasound medical images using deep feature fusion. First, the accurate estimated value of human posture is extracted and combined with image texture features and image gray value as the target feature value of the ultrasonic medical image of human motion injury. Second, the image features are deeply fused by an adaptive fusion algorithm to enhance the image resolution. Finally, the best segmentation value of the image is obtained by the trained support vector machine to realize the accurate segmentation of human motion injury ultrasonic medical image. The results show that the average accuracy of the posture accurate estimation of the proposed algorithm is 95.97%; the segmentation time of the human motion injury ultrasound medical image of the proposed algorithm is below 150 ms; and the convergence of the algorithm is completed when the number of iterations is 3. The maximum segmentation error rate is 2.68%. The image segmentation effect is consistent with the ideal target segmentation effect. The proposed algorithm has important application value in the field of ultrasonic medical diagnosis of sports injury. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A panoramic image texture detail enhancement method based on the Retinex algorithm is proposed to work on the nature of panoramic images. Firstly, the panoramic image is collected, then the panoramic image is preprocessed through brightness enhancement, the brightness of the preprocessed panoramic image is normalized, and the panoramic image is optimized and increased by the improved Retinex algorithm. Finally, the simulation test of the panoramic image was carried out. The results show that the improved Retinex algorithm works on the sign to-commotion proportion of the panoramic image. Furthermore, the time required to enhance the panoramic texture detail is short, which can meet the practical requirements of panoramic image subsequent processing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) has become a research hotspot in the field of robots in recent years. However, most visual SLAM systems are based on static assumptions which ignored motion effects. If image sequences are not rich in texture information or the camera rotates at a large angle, SLAM system will fail to locate and map. To solve these problems, this paper proposes an improved ORB-SLAM2 algorithm based on information entropy and sharpening processing. The information entropy corresponding to the segmented image block is calculated, and the entropy threshold is determined by the adaptive algorithm of image entropy threshold, and then the image block which is smaller than the information entropy threshold is sharpened. The experimental results show that compared with the ORB-SLAM2 system, the relative trajectory error decreases by 36.1% and the absolute trajectory error decreases by 45.1% compared with ORB-SLAM2. Although these indicators are greatly improved, the processing time is not greatly increased. To some extent, the algorithm solves the problem of system localization and mapping failure caused by camera large angle rotation and insufficient image texture information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pitting corrosion can lead to critical failures of infrastructure elements. Therefore, accurate detection of corroded areas is crucial during the phase of structural health monitoring. This study aims at developing a computer vision and data-driven method for automatic detection of pitting corrosion. The proposed method is an integration of the history-based adaptive differential evolution with linear population size reduction (LSHADE), image processing techniques, and the support vector machine (SVM). The implementation of the LSHADE metaheuristic in this research is multifold. This optimization algorithm is employed in the task of multilevel image thresholding to extract regions of interest from the metal surface. Image texture analysis methods of statistical measurements of color channels, gray-level co-occurrence matrix, and local binary pattern are used to compute numerical features subsequently employed by the SVM-based pattern recognition phase. In addition, the LSHADE metaheuristic is also used to optimize the hyperparameters of the machine-learning approach. Experimental results supported by statistical test points out that the newly developed approach can attain a good predictive result with classification accurate rate = 91.80%, precision = 0.91, recall = 0.94, negative predictive value = 0.93, and F1 score = 0.92. Thus, the newly developed method can be a promising tool to be used in a periodic structural health survey. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Effectively classify the fault types and the degradation degree of a rolling bearing is an important basis for accurate malfunction detection. A novel feature extract method - bispectrum image texture features manifold (BTM) of the rolling bearing vibration signal is proposed in this paper. The BTM method is realized by three main steps: bispectrum image analysis, texture feature construction and manifold feature dimensionality reduction. In this method, bispectrum analysis is employed to convert the mass vibration signals into bispectrum contour map, the typical texture features were extracted from the contour map by gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), then the manifold dimensionality reduction method liner local tangent space alignment (LLTSA) is used to remove redundant information and reduce the dimension from the extracted texture features and obtain more meaningful low-dimensional information. Furthermore, the low-dimensional texture features were identified by support vector machine (SVM) which was optimized by genetic optimization algorithm (GA). The validity of BTM is confirmed by rolling bear experiments, the result show that the proposed feature extraction method can accurately distinguish different fault types and have a good performance to classify the degradation degree of inner race fault, outer race fault and rolling ball fault.

In order to improve the image quality, in this paper, we propose an improved PM model. In the proposed model, we introduce two novel diffusion coefficients and a residual error term and replace the integer differential operator with the fractional differential operator in the PM model. The diffusion coefficients can be used effectively for edge detection and noise removal. The residual error term can help to prevent image distortion. Fractional order differential operator has a good characteristic that it can enhance image texture information while removing image noise. Additionally, in the two new diffusion coefficients, a novel method is proposed for automatically setting parameter k, and it does not need to do any experiments to get the value of k. For the computing fractional order diffusion coefficient, we employ the discrete Fourier transform, and an iterative scheme is carried out in the frequency domain. In the proposed model, not only is the integer differential operator replaced with the fractional differential operator, but also the order of the fractional differentiation is determined adaptively with the local variance. Comparing with some existing models, the experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can not only better suppress noise, but also better preserve edge and texture information. Moreover, the running time is greatly reduced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on the analysis of the characteristic of the image texture, we extend the region homogeneity measure operator (RHMO) to a more reasonable case, thus avoiding some omission situation. Moreover, we compare the RHMO with the convolution function to find out the more rational range of region homogeneity measure (RHM). At the end of this paper, we use the improved RHM method for some images in a new Partial Differential Equation (PDE); the results indicate that the improved concept has achieved a good result.
