Detailed Description

Calculates Volumetric Density Features.

These features characterize the compactness of the volume and shape by comparing the volumes of different volume and shape estimation methods.

This feature calculator is activated by the option -volume-density or -volden.

The features are calculated based on a mask. It is assumed that the mask is of the type of an unsigned short image. All voxels with the value equal or greater than 1 are treated as masked.

The volume and surface are compared to the volume \( V \) and surface \( A \) that is calculated directly from the mask. The following features are then defined:

• Morphological Density::Volume density axis-aligned bounding box: The axis-aligned bounding box is defined as the minimum axis aligned box in 3D space that encloses all masked voxels. It is calculated by using the maximum spacial extension of the mask. Based on the volume of the bounding box, \( V_{aabb} \), the feature is defined as:

  \[ \textup{Volume density axis-aligned bounding box}= \frac{V}{V_{aabb}} \]

• Morphological Density::Surface density axis-aligned bounding box: As for the previous feature, the axis-aligned bounding box is compared to the mask, this time using the surface of the bounding box \( A_{aabb} \):

  \[ \textup{Surface density axis-aligned bounding box}= \frac{A}{A_{aabb}} \]

• Morphological Density::Volume density oriented minimum bounding box: A three-dimensional bounding box is defined using the box with the minimum volume. We do not use an estimation for this feature, which makes the calculation of this feature slow. Based on the volume of the bounding box, \( V_{ombb} \), the feature is defined as:

  \[ \textup{Volume density oriented minimum bounding box}= \frac{V}{V_{ombb}} \]

• Morphological Density::Surface density axis-aligned bounding box: As for the previous feature, theminimum oriented bounding box is compared to the mask, this time using the surface of the bounding box \( A_{ombb} \):

  \[ \textup{Surface density axis-aligned bounding box}= \frac{A}{A_{ombb}} \]

• Morphological Density::Volume density approx. enclosing ellipsoid: Using a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of the spacial coordinates gives the three main axis of the mask. They correspond to the length of a eclipse enclosing the mask. The length of the axis of the eclipse are given by the eigenvalues of the decomposition: \( a = 2 \sqrt{\lambda_1} \), \( b = 2 \sqrt{\lambda_2} \), and \( c = 2 \sqrt{\lambda_3} \) with \(\lambda_x\) being the sorted eigenvalues (higher number indicates larger values). The volume of the enclosing eclipse can be estimated by \( V_{aee} = 4 \pi a b c \):

  \[ \textup{Volume density approx. enclosing ellipsoid}= \frac{V}{V_{aee}} \]

• Morphological Density::Surface density approx. enclosing ellipsoid: As for the previous feature, the surface of the enclosing ellipsoid is used. To simplify the calulation of it, an approximation (20 iterations) for the surface is used ( \( \alpha = \sqrt{1-\frac{b^2}{a^2}} \), \( \beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{c^2}{a^2}} \)):

  \[ A_{aee} = 2 \pi a b \frac{\alpha^2 + \beta^2}{\alpha \beta} \sum_v^\infty \frac{(a \beta)^v}{1-a v^2} \]

  \[ \textup{Surface density approx. enclosing ellipsoid}= \frac{A}{A_{aee}} \]

• Morphological Density::Volume density approx. minimum volume enclosing ellipsoid: The volume is compared to the volume of the minimum enclosing ellipsoid. While this ellipsoid can be found by brute-force calculation, this is quite time-consuming. It is therefore estimated using Khachiyan's Algorithm (Khachiyan, Rounding of Polytopes in the Real Number Model of Computation. Mathematics of Operations Research 1996) The so-found ellipsoid is described by the lengths \(a, b, c \) of its axis. The volume is then defined as \( V_{mvee} = 4 \pi a b c \) and the feature given by:

  \[ \textup{Volume density approx. minimum volume enclosing ellipsoid}= \frac{V}{V_{mvee}} \]

• Morphological Density::Surface density approx. minimum volume enclosing ellipsoid: As for the previous feature, the surface of the minimum volume enclosing ellipsoid is used. To simplify the calulation of it, an approximation with 20 iterations instead of infinite iterations is used for the calculation of the the surface ( \( \alpha = \sqrt{1-\frac{b^2}{a^2}} \), \( \beta = \sqrt{1-\frac{c^2}{a^2}} \)):

  \[ A_{mvee} = 2 \pi a b \frac{\alpha^2 + \beta^2}{\alpha \beta} \sum_v^\infty \frac{(a \beta)^v}{1-a v^2} \]

  \[ \textup{Surface density approx. minimum volume enclosing ellipsoid}= \frac{A}{A_{mvee}} \]

• Morphological Density::Volume density convex hull: The volume of the density hull is calculated using a convex mesh and then calculating the volume of this mesh \(V_{convex} \). The feature is then calculated using:

  \[ \textup{Volume density convex hull}= \frac{V}{V_{convex}} \]

• Morphological Density::Surface density convex hull: The surface of the density hull is calculated using a convex mesh and then calculating the surface of this mesh \(A_{convex} \). The feature is then calculated using:

  \[ \textup{Volume density convex hull}= \frac{A}{A_{convex}} \]

• Morphological Density::Volume integrated intensity: Integrated intensity is the average intensity times the volume. It is often used in conjunction with PET-images, where this feature is also called "total legion glycolysis". It is defined using the volume \(V \), the number of masked voxels \( N_v \) and the intensity of each voxel \( x_i \):

  \[ \textup{Volume integrated intensity}= V \frac{1}{N_v} \sum x_i \]

• Morphological Density::Volume Moran's I index: Moran's I index is an measure for the spacial autocorrelation. It is defined using the inverse spacial distance between two voxels \(i, j \) \(w_{ij} \), the number of masked voxels \( N_v \), the intensity of each voxel \( x_i \), and the mean intensity of all masked voxels \( \mu = \frac{1}{N_v} sum x_i \):

  \[ \textup{Volume Moran's I index}= \frac{N_v}{\sum_i \sum_j w_{ij}} \frac{\sum_i \sum_j (x_i - \mu) (x_j -\mu)}{\sum_i (x_i - \mu)^2 } \enspace \enspace {; i \neq j} \]

• Morphological Density::Volume Geary's C measure: Geary's C meansure is similar to Moran's I index. However, it is more sensitive to grey level differences and spacial autocorrelation: the spacial autocorrelation. It is defined using the inverse spacial distance between two voxels \(i, j \) \(w_{ij} \), the number of masked voxels \( N_v \), the intensity of each voxel \( x_i \), and the mean intensity of all masked voxels \( \mu = \frac{1}{N_v} sum x_i \):

  \[ \textup{Volume Geary's C measure}= \frac{N_v - 1}{2 \sum_i \sum_j w_{ij}} \frac{ \sum_i \sum_j w_{ij} (x_i - x_j)^2 }{\sum_i (x_i - \mu)^2 } \enspace \enspace {; i \neq j} \]
