Abstract

This paper proposed an automatic method for the classification of meningioma subtypes based on the unsupervised color segmentation method and feature selection scheme. Firstly, a color segmentation method is utilized to segment the cell nuclei. Then the set of shape feature vectors which are calculated from the segmentation results are constructed. Finally, a k-nearest neighbour classifier (kNN) is used to classify the meningioma subtypes. Experiment shows that the classification accuracy of 85 % is achieved by using a leave-one-out cross validation approach on 80 meningioma images.
