Abstract
Neuroblastoma is the most common extra cranial solid tumour in children. The histology of neuroblastoma has high intra-class variation, which misleads existing computer-aided histological image classification methods that use global features. To tackle this problem, we propose a new Patched Completed Local Binary Pattern (PCLBP) method combining Sign Binary Pattern (SBP) and Magnitude Binary Pattern (MBP) within local patches to build feature vectors which are classified by k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers. The advantage of our method is extracting local features which are more robust to intra-class variation compared to global ones. We gathered a database of 1043 histologic images of neuroblastic tumours classified into five subtypes. Our experiments show the proposed method improves the weighted average F-measure by 1.89% and 0.81% with k-NN and SVM classifiers, respectively.
