Evaluation of Color Based Keypoints and Features for the Classification of Melanomas Using the Bag-of-Features Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dermatologists consider color as one of the major discriminative aspects of melanoma. In this paper we evaluate the importance of color in the keypoint detection and description steps of the Bag-of-Features model. We compare the performance of gray scale against that of color sampling methods using Harris Laplace detector and its color extensions. Moreover, we compare the performance of SIFT and Color-SIFT patch descriptors. Our results show that color detectors and Color-SIFT perform better and are more discriminative achieving Sensitivity = 85%, Specificity = 87% and Accuracy = 87% in PH2 database [17].

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has been an active research topic in the last decade. In this paper we proposed an image retrieval method using global and local features. Firstly, for local features extraction, SURF algorithm produces a set of interest points for each image and a set of 64-dimensional descriptors for each interest points and then to use Bag of Visual Words model, a cluster...
