Support Vector Machines for Pixel Classification - Application in Microscopy Images



AbstractVisiopharm currently uses Bayesian classification and K-means clustering for pixel classification in their software. The purpose of this project was to investigate if Support Vector Machines (SVMs) would be a good additional classifier. It will be shown that a quantitative improvement (increase in accuracy) is indeed possible compared to existing methods, but that this is not the only thing to take into consideration. Overall SVMs does seem like a good addition to Visiopharms software, but more projects should follow this, to answer some of the new questions which this project has raised.
