Pap smear cell image classification using global MPEG-7 descriptors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Several strategies have been previously applied for classifying cervical cytology cells, all pursuing a nucleus segmentation. Sanchez sets regions [1] using a simple threshold [2], a procedure broadly adapted to different techniques: a local adaptive segmentation nuclei procedure [3], seed growing [4], mathematical morphology [5], a Hough transform [6], and active contours [7]. Jantzen and Dounias propose several cell features as morphometric descriptors, including the nucleus and cytoplasm areas, nucleus / cytoplasm proportion, nucleus and cytoplasm brightnesses, smaller and larger nucleus/cytoplasm diameters, nucleus and cytoplasm roundness, nucleus and cytoplasm perimeters, nucleus position, nucleus/cytoplasm maxima and minima. Nevertheless, these morphometric characteristics require a previous accurate segmentation, hardly achieved by human intervention using commercial software such as CHAMP (Cytology and Histology Modular Analysis Package, Aarhus, Denmark) or DIMAC (Digital Image Company) [8,9].

Detecting Adult Images Using Seven MPEG-7 Visual Descriptors
In this paper we introduce an effective method of the adult image classification via MPEG-7 descriptors. The proposed system uses MPEG-7 descriptors as the main feature of the adult image classification systems. The simulation shows that the proposed image classification system performs the 5 class classification task with success rate of above 70%.
متن کاملEvaluation of Features for Defect Image Retrieval
In this paper different feature descriptors are evaluated for content-based retrieval of defect images. Especially the visual descriptors of the MPEG-7 standard are of interest. The evaluation is done with a small, pre-classified defect image database using the K-nearest neighbor (KNN) classification. The best features are then applied to a contentbased image retrieval (CBIR) system called PicS...

متن کاملAutomatic Image Annotation for Semantic Image Retrieval
This paper addresses the challenge of automatic annotation of images for semantic image retrieval. In this research, we aim to identify visual features that are suitable for semantic annotation tasks. We propose an image classification system that combines MPEG-7 visual descriptors and support vector machines. The system is applied to annotate cityscape and landscape images. For this task, our ...
متن کاملDefect Image Classification and Retrieval with MPEG-7 Descriptors
In this paper the visual content descriptors defined by the MPEG-7 standard are applied to defect image classification and retrieval. A pre-classified defect image database is used in evaluation. The experiments are done with a KNN classifier and with a PicSOM content-based image retrieval system. Results indicate that the MPEG-7 features work with a high level of success, especially the Color ...
