Obstacle Recognition in Traffic by Adapting the HOG Descriptor and Learning in Layers (2015)

Abstract Despite many years of research, obstacle recognition is still a difficult, but very important task. We present a multi-class approach, that extracts from images the Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) based on aspect ratio of Region of Interest (ROI) and use them in a multiclass classification problem. For the learning phase we propose…

Descriptors fusion and genetic programming for breast cancer detection (2015)

Abstract The detection of tumors in digital images originated from mammograms can be a challenging task. In this paper we investigate a Computer Aided Diagnosis System based on a Genetic Programming classifier. The performance of the considered classifier is evaluated for five of the image descriptors used in literature and we propose a new…

Multi-objective breast cancer classification by using Multi-Expression Programming (2015)

Abstract Despite many years of research, breast cancer detection is still a difficult, but very important problem to be solved. An automatic diagnosis system could establish whether a mammography presents tumours or belongs to a healthy patient and could offer, in this way, a second opinion to a radiologist that tries to establish a…
