Table 1.

Features for Segmentation.

Features Explanation
Area Ar Number of pixels in boundary area of ROI
Perimeter Pr Number of pixels on boundary of ROI.
Circularity Cr Number of pixels in boundary area of ROI. When there is a circular shape, circularity has a value of zero. By assuming Ar for area and Pr for the perimeter, circularity will be Cr=14πArPr2.
Shape factor Number of pixels on boundary of ROI. The count of burr around tumors will show the feature that is, region-of-interest as Sr=Pr2Ar. Assume Ar for area, Pr for the perimeter and Sr for Shape factor.
Normalization radial length nrl(r)=rl(r)]max(rl(r)). Here, rl is radial length value meaning it is Euclidean Distance. So rl(r)=(bit)2(bju)2. Here, (bi,bj) is centre position and (t,u) is boundary pixel position.
Mean-value of normalization based radial length nrlmean=1Prnrl(r)
. Standard deviation value sigma=1Prr=1Pnrl(r)nrlmean(r)2
. Entropy value Er=r=1Prpklogpk. pk =probability of a certain nrl to the number of whole radials and Pr perimeter.
The normalization value of central position shift NCPS=(bic)2+(bjd)2A. The pixels coordination position (c,d) is denoted with a minimum gray value inside the ROI. The Euclidian distance is calculated from the ROI centre (cicj) at the position of the pixel with the lowest gray value, the ROI is divided.
Gradient the gray value alteration among the boundary pixel and the 10th pixel from this pixel with the radial direction gr=I(t,u)I(i0,j0), Where I(t,u) is the gray value of the boundary pixel and I(i0,j0) is the gray value of the 10th radial pixel.
