Classification of Hematoxylin and Eosin Images Using Local Binary Patterns and 1-D SIFT Algorithm

In this paper, Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained liver images are classified by using both Local Binary Patterns (LBP) and one dimensional SIFT (1-D SIFT) algorithm. In order to obtain more meaningful features from the LBP histogram, a new feature vector extraction process is implemented for 1-D SIFT algorithm. LBP histograms are extracted with different approaches and concatenated with color histograms of the images. It is experimentally shown that,with the proposed approach, it possible to classify the H&E stained liver images with the accuracy of 88 % .
