Abstract

Human Epithelial type 2 (HEp-2) cells play an important role in the diagnosis of autoimmune disorder. Traditional approach relies on specialists to observe HEp-2 slides via the fluorescence microscope, which suffers from a number of shortcomings like being subjective and labor intensive. Pattern recognition techniques have been recently introduced to this research issue to make the process automatic. The diagnosis includes two stages, the first stage is to classify the positive and negative cell images, the second stage is to classify the positive cells into different categories. We propose in this paper a framework using global and local features for positive and negative HEp-2 image classification. By using global feature firstly for a rough classification, cells segmentation and local feature extraction were applied further for more accurate classification. The proposed framework was evaluated with SZU dataset. The results indicate that the proposed framework can achieve as high as 98.68% accuracy.
