Abstract

Labeling brain images as healthy or pathological cases is an important procedure for medical diagnosis. Therefore, we proposed a novel image feature, stationary wavelet entropy (SWE), to extract brain image features. Meanwhile, we replaced the feature extraction procedure in state-of-the-art approaches with the proposed SWE. We found the classification performance improved after replacing wavelet entropy (WE), wavelet energy (WN), and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) with the proposed SWE. This proposed SWE is superior to WE, WN, and DWT.
