Detailed Description

Calculates the Neighbourhood Grey Tone Difference Features.

This class can be used to calculate Neighbourhood Grey Tone Difference Features which have been introduced in Amadasun and King: Textural features corresponding to textural properties. IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetricy, 1989.

The Neighbourhood Grey Tone Difference (NGTD) is based on a table and is calcualted using a defined neighbourhood for each voxel. Within this neighbourhood, the mean intensity of the neighbouring voxel is calculated \(A_i\), i.e. the mean intensity of the neighbourhood excluding the center voxel. Based on this a table with four columns is calculated. The first column represents the voxel value, or in our implementation, the histogram bin index \(i\). The second column represents the number of voxel with this intensity value \(n_i\). The proability for each intensity value \(p_i\), which is equal to the bin probability. And the sum of the absolut differences of the intensity of all voxels with this intensity and the mean intensity of their neighbourhood:

\[s_i = \sum \left \| i- A_i \right \| \]

. Additional \( N_v\) is the number of voxels, \( N_g \) the number of bins, and \(N_{g,p}\) the number of bins with a non-zero probability.

This feature calculator is activated by the option -neighbourhood-grey-tone-difference or -ngtd.

The range that is used to calculate the local intensity can be set using the function SetRange. To set it with parameters set the option ngtd::range which expects an int value n that is interpreted as voxel count. The neighbourhood includes symetrical n voxels additional to the center voxel in each directions. The default value for this parameter is 1.

The features are calculated based on a mask. It is assumed that the mask is of the type of an unsigned short image and all voxels with an value of greater than zero are treated as masked.

For the definition of the features we use the sum, this is always the sum over the bins of the histogram. If the denominator of a feature evaluates to zero, the feature is defined as zero. The resulting features are:

Neighbourhood Grey Tone Difference::Coarsness: The coarsness is defined as :
\[ \textup{Coarsness}= \frac{1}{\sum p_i s_i} \]
Neighbourhood Grey Tone Difference::Contrast: The contrast is defined as :
\[ \textup{contrast}= \left( \frac{1}{N_{g,p} ( N_{g,p} - 1) } \sum_i \sum_j p_i p_j (i-j)^2 \right) \left( \frac{1}{N_v} \sum s_i \right) \]
Neighbourhood Grey Tone Difference::Busyness: for all bins with a non-zero probability
\[ \textup{busyness} = \frac{\sum p_i s_i}{\sum_i \sum_j \left \| i p_i - j p_j \right \| } \]
Neighbourhood Grey Tone Difference::Complexity: for all bins with a non-zero probability
\[ \textup{complexity} = \frac{1}{N_v} \sum_i \sum_j \left \| i - j \right \| \frac{p_i s_i + p_j s_j}{p_i + p_j} \]
Neighbourhood Grey Tone Difference::Strength: for all bins with a non-zero probability
\[ \textup{strength} = \frac{\sum_i \sum_j (p_i + p_j) (i + j)^2}{\sum_i s_i } \]
