In mammography diagnosis systems, high False Negative Rate (FNR) has always been a significant problem since a false negative answer may lead to a patient's death. This paper is directed towards the development of a novel Computer-aided Diagnosis (CADx) system for the diagnosis of breast masses. It aims at intensifying the performance of CADx algorithms as well as reducing the FNR by utilizing ...

Shape (object) description consists a key part of image content description in MPEG-7. In the development of MPEG-7, Zernike moment descriptor (ZMD) has been adopted as region-based shape descriptor. However, because Zernike moments are defined in a unit disk and extracted from shape in polar space, less shape information is used for skewed and stretched shapes. As a result, the extracted ZMD i...

Features from an image is known as Content-based Image Retrieval. Color, Texture and Shape are the major features of an image and play a vital role in the representation of an image..In this paper, a novel method is proposed to extract the region of interest(ROI) from an image,prior to extraction of salient features of an image.The image is subjected to normalization so that the noise component...

Action recognition in video and still image is one of the most challenging research topics in pattern recognition and computer vision. This paper proposes a new method for video action classification based on 3D Zernike moments. These last ones aim to capturing both structural and temporal information of a time varying sequence. The originality of this approach consists to represent actions in ...
