DFDL: Discriminative Feature-oriented Dictionary Learning for Histopathological Image Classification
In histopathological image analysis, feature extraction for classification is
a challenging task due to the diversity of histology features suitable for each
problem as well as presence of rich geometrical structure. In this paper, we
propose an automatic feature discovery framework for extracting discriminative
class-specific features and present a low-complexity method for classification
and disease grading in histopathology. Essentially, our Discriminative
Feature-oriented Dictionary Learning (DFDL) method learns class-specific
features which are suitable for representing samples from the same class while
are poorly capable of representing samples from other classes. Experiments on
three challenging real-world image databases: 1) histopathological images of
intraductal breast lesions, 2) mammalian lung images provided by the Animal
Diagnostics Lab (ADL) at Pennsylvania State University, and 3) brain tumor
images from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, show the significance of
DFDL model in a variety problems over state-of-the-art methodsComment: Accepted to IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging
