Discriminative cue integration for medical image annotation

Abstract: a b s t r a c tAutomatic annotation of medical images is an increasingly important tool for physicians in their daily activity. Hospitals nowadays produce an increasing amount of data. Manual annotation is very costly and prone to human mistakes. This paper proposes a multi-cue approach to automatic medical image annotation. We represent images using global and local features. These cues are then combined using three alternative approaches, all based on the support vector machine algorithm. We tested our metho… Show more

“…In only one case there was no significant difference between G-DAS and low-level integration1 however, SVM-DAS still performed better than the other solutions. This is in agreement with the results reported by Tommasi et al (2008) and Nilsback and Caputo (2004) and can be explained by greater robustness of the high-level methods to noisy cues or sensory channels and the ability of different classifiers to adapt to the characteristics of each single cue.…”

“…Based on the results shown in Table 1, the Bag of Words (BoW) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) [8] are used as main image representation technique and classifier, respectively. In the past years, the BoW was successfully employed in various medical image retrieval and classification tasks [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Among other classifiers, SVMs have shown a better generalization performance in medical domain compared with other classification techniques.…”
