Abstract:

Medical images play an important role in the hospital diagnosis and treatment, which include a lot of valuable medical information. Manually annotated viewing is obviously not effective in managing large amounts of medical imaging data. Hence it is an important task to establish an efficient and accurate medical image retrieval system. In this paper, a medical image retrieval approach based on Hausdorff distance combining Tamura texture features and wavelet transform algorithm is proposed. The combination of Tamura texture features and wavelet transform features can extract the texture features of medical images more effectively, and Hausdorff distance can reflect the overall similarity of medical image feature set. In this paper, 6 group experiments of brain MRI database and the lung CT database were conducted separately. Experiments show that the proposed approach has higher accuracy than a single feature texture algorithm and is also higher than the approach of Tamura texture features and wavelet transform features combined with Euclidean distance.
