An automated pattern recognition system for classifying indirect immunofluorescence images of HEp-2 cells and specimens

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose systems for classifying immunofluorescence images of HEp-2 cells.

• Images are classified at both the cell level and the specimen level.

• Ensemble SVM classification based on sparse coding of texture features was effective.

• Cell pyramids and artificial dataset augmentation increased mean class accuracy.

• The proposed systems came first in the I3A contest associated with ICPR 2014.
