基于LBP 算子的医学图像检索方法是目前一个研究热点,但是目前大多数算法采用的 是卡方距离计算相似度,针对卡方距离的缺点,本文提出了一种基于LBP 算子与EMD 距离的医学图像检索的方法。实验证明,与卡方距离相比,EMD 距离具有较高的检准率和检全率。 关键词:医学图像;LBP 算子;EMD 距离;基于内容检索 Abstract: Nowadays the medical image retrieval approach based on Local Binary Pattern operators is a hot topic. But most of the approaches are using chi-square distance, which has inevitable disadvantages. In this paper, a novel medical image retrieval approach based on Local Binary Pattern and Earth Movers’ Distance is proposed. The experimental results show that the precision and recall of retrieval are higher compared with chi-square distance. Keywords: medical image, LBP operator, EMD, content-based retrieval
