Visual Features for Content-based Medical Image Retrieval.
Peter Hugo Howarth, Alexei Yavlinsky, Daniel C. Heesch, Stefan Rüger · CLEF (Working Notes) · 2004
We describe our experiments for the Image CLEF medical retrieval task. Our efforts were focused on the initial visual search. A content based approach was followed using global features that would perform well with the medical image collection. We used structure, texture, localisation and colour features that have been proven by previous experiments. The retrieval results showed that this simple approach was successful.
