Breast Cancer is one of the frequent and leading causes of mortality among woman, especially in developed countries. Woman within the age of 40-69 have more risk of breast cancer. Though breast cancer leads to death, early detection of breast cancer can increase the survival rate. Clustered Microcalcification (MC) in mammograms is the major indication for early detection of breast cancer. MC is quiet...
In this paper, we present a direct application of Support Vector Machine with Augmented Features (AFSVM) for video concept detection. For each visual concept, we learn an adapted classifier by leveraging the pre-learnt SVM classifiers of other concepts. The solution of AFSVM is to re-train the SVM classifier using augmented feature, which concatenates the original feature vector with the decision...
The definition of the Mahalanobis kernel for the classification of hyperspectral remote sensing images is addressed. Class specific covariance matrices are regularized by a probabilistic model which is based on the data living in a subspace spanned by the p first principal components. The inverse of the covariance matrix is computed in a closed form and is used in the kernel to compute the distance...
In this article we propose different fusion schemes using information provided by visible and infrared images for road obstacle SVM-based classification. Three approaches for the fusion of VIS and IR information are presented. The early fusion yields a feature vector integrating at the feature level both visual and infrared information. The obtained bimodal feature vector is used as input to an SVM-based...
In this paper, the local features obtained from the signature has been used to create the texture image based on the spatio-temporal correlation matrix. The Gabor wavelets exhibit desirable characteristics of spatial locality and orientation selectivity, and are optimally localized in the space and frequency domains. So it has been chosen to extract the Gabor features of the image. Signature is a...
In this paper, a new recognition algorithm based on curvelet moment and support vector machine(SVM) is proposed for chip defect recognition. The proposed recognition method is implemented through a reference comparison method. First the defect regions of chips are extracted through preprocessing, and then the curvelet moment feature of the defect region is computed as the input of SVM classifier,...
The Gleason score is the single most important prognostic indicator for prostate cancer candidates and plays a significant role in treatment planning. Histopathological imaging of prostate tissue samples provides the gold standard for obtaining the Gleason score, but the manual assignment of Gleason grades is a labor-intensive and error-prone process. We have developed a texture classification system...
For increasing the classification accuracy of chest DR images between normal and lesion images, and improving the deficiencies of poor generalization ability of traditional statistical theory, a kind of medical image classification method adapting small samples was proposed. In order to get the decision-making function, SVM classifier was applied to study on training set of chest DR images. The test...
Support Vector Machines is a supervised classifier which used kernel functions to mitigate nonlinear problem. Various kernel functions like Gaussian and polynomial kernels previously used for hyperspectral image classification. In this paper, new kernel function is used for hyperspectral image classification. This kernel is based on wavelet which named wavelet-kernel. The comparative result of Wavelet...
This paper presents a novel approach to recognize traffic signs using support vector machines and radial Tchebichef moments. More than 3000 real road images were captured by a digital camera under various weather conditions and at different times and locations. After traffic sign is detected from real road images, it is then normalized, and radial Tchebichef moments are computed as the features of...
This paper proposes an efficient approach for object classification. This method bases on bag-of-features classification framework and extends the limits of it. It applies modified spatial PACT as local feature descriptor, which can efficiently catch image patch's characteristic. In order to address the speed bottleneck of codebook creation, extremely randomized clustering forest is used to create...
In this paper, we propose a method for fast pedestrian detection in images/videos. Multi-scale orientated (MSO) features are proposed to represent coarse pedestrian contour, on which Adaboost classifiers are trained for pedestrian coarse location. In the fine detection, histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) features and SVM classifiers are employed to precisely classify pedestrians and non-pedestrians...
Face recognition has received growing attention because of its wide applications. In this paper, an efficient face recognition algorithm based on non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) and SVM is proposed. The high dimension face images are first projected into a lower-dimensional subspace using NMF. The SVM classifier is then used to classify the face image into different classes. The experimental...
We investigate to what extent combinations of features can improve classification performance on a large dataset of similar classes. To this end we introduce a 103 class flower dataset. We compute four different features for the flowers, each describing different aspects, namely the local shape/texture, the shape of the boundary, the overall spatial distribution of petals, and the colour. We combine...
In this paper, we present a scheme towards recognition of English character in multi-scale and multi-oriented environments. Graphical document such as map consists of text lines which appear in different orientation. Sometimes, characters in a single word may follow a curvilinear way to annotate the graphical curve lines. For recognition of such multi-scale and multi-oriented characters a Support...
Nowadays, face detection and recognition have gained importance in security and information access.

It firsly filter the face potential area using statistical feature which is generated by analyzing local histogram distribution. And then, SVM classifier is...
The classification of hyperspectral data is addressed using a classifier ensemble based on Support Vector Machines (SVM). First of all, the hyperspectral data set is decomposed into few sources according to the spectral bands correlation. Then, each source is treated separately and classified by an SVM classifier. Finally, all outputs are used as inputs for the final decision fusion, performed by...
