Bidimensional Multiscale Fuzzy Entropy and Its Application to Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum

Conclusion: T- e results for the synthetic data illustrate that $FuzEn_{2D}$ is an image irregularity measure that overcomes $SampEn_{2D}$ in terms of reliability, especially for small-sized images, and stability of results. The results for the PXE dermoscopic images demonstrate the ability of $MSF_{2D}$ to recognize dermoscopic images of normal zones from PXE papules zones with a large effect size. Significance: This work introduces new image irregularity and complexity measures and shows the potential for $ MSF_{2D}$ to serve as a possible tool helping medical doctors in PXE diagnosis.
