Module Description

This module provide a simple and dynamic user interface that allows:

• to use ComputeGLCMFeatureMaps, ComputeGLCMFeatures, ComputeGLRLMFeatureMaps and ComputeGLRLMFeatures.
  
• to easily modify the parameters and choose the wanted outputs in order to fit to each case studied in the best way possible.
• to observe each outputs generated to be able to verify their consistency and hypothetically re-run the algorithm with a different parameter set.

Interface

Use Cases

Inputs

BoneTexture Inputs

This section allows the user to specify: The input scan: it's interesting to notice that the computation time will improve if the useful data is taking as much space as possible in the input scan (a preliminary cropping step might be considered in order to erase the useless data on the boundaries) An input mask: the mask is optional, therefore it will reduce the computation time of the algorithms

Parameters

BoneTexture parameters

This section allows the user to choose: The Type of features wanted: Run length features or co-occurrence features All the parameters necessary to run each algorithms The type of outputs wanted: texture features or texture maps

GLCM Parameters

GLRLM Parameters

BM Parameters

Result display

Texture features

Texture features result

The texture features computed over the whole input scan will be displayed in this table.

Texture Maps

Texture map choice

This section allows the user to easily observe the texture maps generated. The first drop down menu allow to choose the texture map set (usually GLCM or CLRLM).

Feature choice

The second drop down menu allow to choose the feature displayed in the 3D view of Slicer.
