Abstract
The application of different statistical, frequency, and stochastic methods of texture image analysis for differentiation of various malignant and benign tumors is discussed. The skin surface dermatoscopic images were analyzed using Haar transform, Local Binary Patterns, and color histograms evolution. It was found that classification results may be significantly increased by calculating comparative textural descriptors including personal properties of the healthy skin. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technique was used for detecting of internal inhomogeneities. Forty-four optical and textural features extracted from OCT images of healthy and diseased skin have been analyzed using a linear Support Vector Machine classification with k-fold cross-validation and 5-layer decision trees. It was demonstrated that Precision and Recall exceed 97% in a multi-class (Melanoma, Basal Cell Carcinoma, Nevus, etc.) recognition procedure due to an implementation of multi-texture analysis when each from used texture features (Haralick, Tamura, Gabor, Markov Random Field, Complex Directional Field, fractal dimensions) complements each other. It makes possible the recognition of various tumors (malignant as well as benign) contemporaneously with a high-score identification of a tumor type in real clinical conditions.
