摘要
In this paper, we present a multi-texton representation method for medical image retrieval, which utilizes the locality constraint to encode each filter bank response within its local-coordinate system consisting of the k nearest neighbors in texton dictionary and subsequently employs spatial pyramid matching technique to implement feature vector representation. Comparison with the traditional nearest neighbor assignment followed by texton histogram statistics method, our strategies reduce the quantization errors in mapping process and add information about the spatial layout of texton distributions and, thus, increase the descriptive power of the image representation. We investigate the effects of different parameters on system performance in order to choose the appropriate ones for our datasets and carry out experiments on the IRMA-2009 medical collection and the mammographic patch dataset. The extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method has superior performance.
