Genetic programming for tuberculosis screening from raw X-ray images
2018
Genetic programming has been successfully applied to several real-world problem domains. One such application area is image classification, wherein genetic programming has been used for a variety of problems such as breast cancer detection, face detection, and pedestrian detection, to name a few. We present the use of genetic programming for detecting active tuberculosis in raw X-ray images. Our results demonstrate that genetic programming evolves classifiers that achieve promising accuracy results compared to that of traditional image classification techniques. Our classifiers do not require pre-processing, segmentation, or feature extraction beforehand. Furthermore, our evolved classifiers process a raw X-ray image and return a classification orders of magnitude faster than the reported times for traditional techniques.
