Abstract
In this paper, we propose an approach in microscopic image classification for histological sections of human tissues. The method is based on image descriptors composed of vectors of accumulated Zernike moments. The goal is to construct a robust and precise method of image recognition and classification that can be applied in the case of histological tissue samples. Thanks to their properties Zernike moments fit these requirements. Additionally, processed Zernike moments can be made scale, translation, and rotation invariant. In a series of experiments, we verify the effectiveness of the method and its application to the presented problem of medical image classification. The results are obtained with the help of predefined classifiers provided by dedicated software. The paper presents a comparison of results and proposes an example method of improving the approach.
