LEVERAGING ON LOCAL AND GLOBAL TEXTURES OF BRAIN TISSUES FOR ROBUST AUTOMATIC BRAIN TUMOR DETECTION

摘要

A method for performing cellular classification includes generating a plurality of local dense Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) features based on a set of input images and converting the plurality of local dense SIFT features into a multi-dimensional code using a feature coding process. A first classification component is used to generate first output confidence values based on the multi-dimensional code and a plurality of global Local Binary Pattern Histogram (LBP-H) features are generated based on the set of input images. A second classification component is used to generate second output confidence values based on the plurality of LBP-H features and the first output confidence values and the second output confidence values are merged. Each of the set of input images may then be classified as one of a plurality of cell types using the merged output confidence values.
