Computerized recognition and quantification of texture information has been an active research domain for the past 50 years, with some of the pioneering work still widely used today. Recently, the increasing ubiquity of imaging data has driven the need for powerful image analysis approaches to convert this data into knowledge. One of the most promising application domains is biomedical imaging, which is a key enabling technology for precision medicine (e.g., radiomics and digital histopathology) and biomedical discovery (e.g., microscopy). The colossal research efforts and progress made in...
