A lesion detecting method and a lesion detecting apparatus for breast image in a rotating manner are provided. In the method, a set of breast image in the rotating manner is obtained. The set of breast image in the rotating manner contains sub breast images. The sub breast image is reconstructed, to generate a reconstructed breast image. The reconstructed breast image is compared with the set of breast image in the rotating manner without being reconstructed. Accordingly, at least one lesion position would be confirmed according to the comparing result. Therefore, viewing a three-dimensional breast image would be convenient for medical staff, and false positive of detecting lesion would be reduced.

A medical image processing apparatus and a breast image processing method thereof are provided. The processing method at least contains but not limited to the following steps. At least one slice of breast image is obtained. Mammary glandular tissue in each breast image is detected through a mammary glandular tissue detector. The mammary glandular tissue detector is based on texture characteristic analysis. Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure would assist density analysis of the mammary glandular tissue and efficiently reduce false positive of computer-aided detection. In addition, based on a result of the density analysis of the mammary glandular tissue, the embodiment would further determine lactation yield and present density diagrams of mammary glandular tissue of left and right breasts. A breast region may also be separated from the breast image based on rib information according to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

A method for recognizing different object-categories within images based on texture classification of the different categories, which is implemented in an electronic device, includes extracting texture features from block images segmented from original images according to at least one Gabor filter; determining a grayscale level co-occurrence matrix of each block image according to the texture features; calculating texture feature statistics of each block image according to the grayscale level co-occurrence matrix; training and generating an object recognition model using the texture features and the texture feature statistics; and recognizing and classifying at least one object in original image according to the object recognition model.

The disclosure discloses an online detection method of circular weft knitting stripe defects based on a gray gradient method, and belongs to the technical field of textile product detection. The method provides a defect detection and positioning method based on the gray gradient method. Before the detection on a new product, only a model needs to be trained to obtain stripe defect feature images with different stitch types and different stitch densities, and the detection is directly performed in a subsequent process. Defects can be fast and accurately recognized, and a cam position causing the stripe defects can be calculated according to a quantity of shot images between the feature images and a marked image, courses in which marks in the marked image are located, courses in which defects in a defect image are located, and machine operation parameters. Moreover, a defect detection device required by the disclosure can be modified on an original circular knitting machine, so the detection cost is reduced.

A method for regulating a position of an object includes detecting a plurality of first alignment structures of the object under rotation of the object, wherein a plurality of second alignment structures of the object sequentially face a photosensitive element during the rotation of the object, and when the plurality of first alignment structures have reached a first predetermined state, stopping the rotation of the object and performing an image capturing procedure of the object. The image capturing procedure includes: capturing a test image of the object, wherein the test image includes an image block presenting the second alignment structure currently facing the photosensitive element; detecting the position of the image block in the test image; when the image block is located in the middle of the test image, capturing a detection image of the object.

Pre-treatment clinical data and radiomic features extracted from computed tomography (CT) scans were used to develop a parsimonious model to predict survival outcomes among NSCLC patients treated with immunotherapy. The biological underpinnings of the radiomics features were assessed utilizing geneexpression information from a well-annotated radiogenomics NSCLC dataset and were further assessed for survival in four independent NSCLC cohorts. Therefore, disclosed herein is a method for predicting efficacy of immunotherapy in a subject with lung cancer using the disclosed radiomic features.
