Texture based classification of hyperspectral colon biopsy samples using CLBP
Khalid Masood, Nasir Rajpoot · 2009
Computer aided diagnosis (CAD) is aimed at supporting the pathologists in their diagnosis. In this paper, we present an algorithm for texture-based classification of colon tissue patterns. In this method, a single band is selected from its hyperspectral cube and spatial analysis is performed using circular local binary pattern (CLBP) features. A novel method for feature selection is presented resulting in the best feature set without actually running the classifier. Classification results using Gaussian kernel SVM, with an accuracy of 90%, demonstrate that texture analysis based on CLBP features is able to distinguish the benign and malignant patterns.
