Abstract

This paper proposes a novel algorithm for the efficient classification and retrieval of medical images. After color and edge features are extracted from medical images, these two feature vectors are then applied to a multi-class Support Vector Machine, to give membership vectors. Thereafter, the two membership vectors are combined into an ensemble feature vector. Also, to reduce the search time, Correlated Categories Vector is proposed for similarity matching. The experimental results show that the proposed system improves the retrieval performance when compared to other methods.
