Automated clustering of histology slide texture using co-occurrence based grayscale image features and manifold learning

摘要

The aim of this work is to perform automated texture classification of histology slides using grayscale images and manifold learning method. Texture feature vectors were obtained using local gray scale co-occurrence matrices and the dimension of the feature vector space was lowered using Isomap dimension reduction. In a lower dimension feature space, k-means clustering operation was performed in order to provide separate texture clusters. In this work, experimental results were obtained using human kidney histology slides. Corresponding feature vectors and determined texture types were given as results.
