Indirect immunofluorescence imaging is a fundamental technique for detecting antinuclear antibodies in HEp-2 cells. This is particularly useful for the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases and other important pathological conditions involving the immune system. HEp-2 cells can be categorised into six groups: homogeneous, fine speckled, coarse speckled, nucleolar, cytoplasmic, and Centro mere cells, which...
Texture classification is an important task for a variety of computer vision applications. A successful group of texture algorithms based on local neighbourhood descriptors and known as LBP (local binary patterns) has been shown to provide good and robust discriminative power, and is typically applied in a rotation invariant form and calculated at multiple resolutions. Local contrast information can...

Nailfold capillaroscopy (NC) is a non-invasive imaging technique employed to assess the condition of blood capillaries in the nail fold, and is routinely used for the detection of scleroderma spectral disorders, Raynaud's phenomenon and other connective tissue diseases. While NC image evaluation is typically performed through manual inspection by an expert, computer-aided approaches of capillary inspection...
Local binary patterns (LBP) are known as a simple yet powerful texture descriptor encoding local neighbourhood properties. LBP descriptors can be calculated at different radii, leading to a multi-resolution texture characterisation. Multi-dimensional LBP (MD-LBP) utilises this concept, while also maintaining the relationships between the different scales by building a multi-dimensional histogram of...
Various connective tissue diseases lead to morphological alternations of blood capillaries. Consequently, observation of the capillaries at the finger nailfold - nailfold capillaroscopy (NC) - is a standard method for diagnosing diseases such as scleroderma or Raynaud's phenomenon. This is typically performed through manual inspection by an expert to lead to a determination of one of the established...
Texture analysis and classification play an important role in many multimedia and computer vision applications. Local binary patterns (LBP) form a simple yet powerful texture descriptor characterising local neighbourhood properties, and consequently LBP variants are widely employed. In this paper, we demonstrate that through appropriate construction of a multiple classifier system, improved texture...
Texture analysis and classification plays an important role in many computer vision systems and applications. Local binary patterns (LBP) form a simple yet powerful texture descriptor characterising local neighbourhood properties, which, due to its effectiveness and robustness, is widely used. LBP descriptors can also be recorded at different radii leading to multi-scale features. While in conventional...
Nail fold capillaroscopy (NC) an inexpensive, non-invasive method to assess capillary morphology, and is routinely used for the detection of scleroderma spectral disorders, Raynaud's phenomenon and other connective tissue diseases. Evaluation of NC requires expert knowledge and is typically performed by careful manual inspection of the images. Computer-aided approaches of capillary inspection would...
Nailfold capillaroscopy (NC) is a non-invasive imaging technique employed to assess the condition of blood capillaries in the nailfold, and is known to be effective particularly for early detection of scleroderma spectrum disorders and evaluation of Raynaud's phenomenon. Manual inspection of NC images can be aided by a computerised system avoiding the inherent ambiguity present in human judgment and...
Image retrieval is a well researched area and often based on integrating various kinds of image features. Apart from colour features, texture features are deemed crucial for successful image retrieval. Local binary pattern (LBP) based texture algorithms have gained significant popularity in recent years and have been shown to be useful for a variety of tasks. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive...
Texture analysis algorithms are employed in many computer vision applications. A group of high performing texture algorithms are based on the concept of local binary patterns (LBP) which describe the relationship of pixels to their local neighbourhood. LBP descriptors are invariant to intensity changes and rotation invariance is simple to derive. In addition, LBP features can be calculated for different...
Texture analysis and classification is a well researched topic in computer vision. Since textures are captured at arbitrary angles, the derivation of rotation-invariant texture descriptors has received much attention. A group of high performing texture algorithms are based on the concept of local binary patterns (LBP). These algorithms are very efficient as they typically rely solely on local comparison...

Interactive dynamic influence diagrams (I-DID) are graphical models for sequential decision making in uncertain settings shared by other agents. Algorithms for solving I-DIDs face the challenge of an exponentially growing space of candidate models ascribed to other agents, over time. Pruning behaviorally equivalent models is one way toward minimizing the model set. We seek to further reduce the complexity...
Spinal pain syndromes are major causes of morbidity and disability globally. Epidural steroid injections (ESIs) play a vital role in the nonsurgical management of radiculopathy pain. These are simple, cost-effective, minimally invasive, percutaneous interventions routinely performed by a Pain physician. ESIs can be a diagnostic tool in patients where clinical, radiological, and electrophysiological...
