Other Measures of Heterogeneity Texture & Shape of Metabolism
A toy example for demonstration of constructing the co-occurrence matrix. (a) Test image of size 4 x 4 and 4 intensity levels (M=4). The corresponding co-occurrence matrix assuming single pixel distance in: (b) East direction and (c) all directions. The matrix is converted into a probability mass function by normalization so that the sum is equal to unity.

Volumetric run length type texture Feature Definition Description Short Run Emphasis Measures the distribution of short runs. The SRE is highly dependent on the occurrence of short runs and is expected large for fine textures. Long Run Emphasis Measures distribution of long runs. The LRE is highly dependent on the occurrence of long runs and is expected large for coarse structural textures. Low Gray-Level Run Emphasis Measures the distribution of low gray level values. The LGRE is expected large for the image with low gray level values. High Gray-Level Run Emphasis Measures the distribution of high gray level values. The HGRE is expected large for the image with high gray level values. Short Run Low Gray-Level Emphasis Measures the joint distribution of short runs and low gray level values. The SRLGE is expected large for the image with many short runs and lower gray level values. Short Run High Gray-Level Emphasis Measures the joint distribution of short runs and high gray level values. The SRHGE is expected large for the image with many short runs and high gray level values. Long Run Low Gray-Level Emphasis Measures the joint distribution of long runs and low gray level values. The LRLGE is expected large for the image with many long runs and low gray level values. Long Run High Gray-Level Emphasis Measures the joint distribution of long runs and high gray level values. The LRHGE is expected large for images with many long runs and high gray level values. Gray-Level Non-uniformity Measures the similarity of gray level values through out the image. The GLNU is expected small if the gray level values are alike through out the image. Run Length Non-uniformity Measures the similarity of the length of runs through out the image. The RLNU is expected small if the run lengths are alike through out the image. Run Percentage Measures the homogeneity and the distribution of runs of an image in a specific direction. The RP is the largest when the length of runs is 1 for all gray levels in specific direction. 30
