Abstract

In modern health-care, for evidence-based diagnosis, there is a requirement for an efficient image retrieval approach to retrieve the cases of interest that have similar characteristics from the large image databases. This paper presents a feature extraction approach that aims at extracting texture features present in the medical images using Local Pattern Descriptor (LPD) and Gray-level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). As a main contribution, a novel local pattern named Local Mesh Vector Co-occurrence Pattern (LMVCoP) has been proposed by concatenating the Local Mesh Co-occurrence Pattern (LMCoP) and the Local Vector Co-occurrence Pattern (LVCoP). The fusion of GLCM with the Local Mesh Pattern (LMeP) and the Local Vector Pattern (LVP) produces LMCoP and LVCoP respectively. The LMVCoP method has been investigated on the Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS): a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain image database. LMVCoP descriptor achieves 87.57% of ARP and 53.21% of ARR which are higher than the existing methods of LTCoP, PVEP, LBDP, LMeP and LVP. The LMVCoP method enhances the retrieval results of LMeP/LVP from 81.36%/83.52% to 87.57% in terms of ARP on OASIS MRI brain database.
