Abstract：A method of texture features extraction over local jet transformation space is presented in order to improve the recognition about benign/malignant nodules with texture features. In this method, the first three order partial differential functions of 2-D Gaussian were used to transform original image of nodule tolocal jet texture images space firstly, and then feature parameters were extracted over the local jet images space by texture descriptor. In our work, feature parameters were extracted from the original CT image and local jet images using the texture descriptors of first four moments of intensity and parameters based on gray level co-occurrence matrix. Then BP neural network was used to classify the benign/malignant nodules with the two texture features sets under the same texture descriptor that optimized by kernel principle component analysis. The compared experiment conducted based on 157 lung nodule(51 benign and 106 malignant) samples. The experiment result showed that the classification accuracy of two feature parameters sets extracted by the two texture descriptors on local jet space was 82.69% and 86.54% respectively, higher 6%～8% than feature parameters sets on original image space, and the value of AUC was increased about 10%. The experiment result indicated the texture features extracted from local jet transformation space could effectively improve the pattern recognition of benign/malignant of pulmonary nodules.
