Many Local Pattern Texture Features: Which Is Better for Image-Based Multilabel Human Protein Subcellular Localization Classification?
Human protein subcellular location prediction can provide critical knowledge for understanding a protein’s function. Since significant progress has been made on digital microscopy, automated image-based protein subcellular location classification is urgently needed. In this paper, we aim to investigate more representative image features that can be effectively used for dealing with the multilabel subcellular image samples. We prepared a large multilabel immunohistochemistry (IHC) image benchmark from the Human Protein Atlas database and tested the performance of different local texture features, including completed local binary pattern, local tetra pattern, and the standard local binary pattern feature. According to our experimental results from binary relevance multilabel machine learning models, the completed local binary pattern, and local tetra pattern are more discriminative for describing IHC images when compared to the traditional local binary pattern descriptor. The combination of these two novel local pattern features and the conventional global texture features is also studied. The enhanced performance of final binary relevance classification model trained on the combined feature space demonstrates that different features are complementary to each other and thus capable of improving the accuracy of classification
Histogram of gradients of Time-Frequency Representations for Audio scene detection
This paper addresses the problem of audio scenes classification and
contributes to the state of the art by proposing a novel feature. We build this
feature by considering histogram of gradients (HOG) of time-frequency
representation of an audio scene. Contrarily to classical audio features like
MFCC, we make the hypothesis that histogram of gradients are able to encode
some relevant informations in a time-frequency {representation:} namely, the
local direction of variation (in time and frequency) of the signal spectral
power. In addition, in order to gain more invariance and robustness, histogram
of gradients are locally pooled. We have evaluated the relevance of {the novel
feature} by comparing its performances with state-of-the-art competitors, on
several datasets, including a novel one that we provide, as part of our
contribution. This dataset, that we make publicly available, involves
classes and contains about minutes of audio scene recording. We thus
believe that it may be the next standard dataset for evaluating audio scene
classification algorithms. Our comparison results clearly show that our
HOG-based features outperform its competitor
