Abstract

The classification of diffuse lung opacities in thin-section computed tomography(HRCT) images is an important step for developing a computer-aided diagnosis(CAD) system. In practical situations such that the ratio of the dimensionality to the training sample size per a class is small, the design of a CAD system for classifying diffuse lung opacities is considered to be one of difficult tasks. In this paper, we examine the classification performance of nonparametric classifiers for a CAD system of diffuse lung opacities in practical situations.
