MRI and CT image indexing and retrieval using local mesh peak valley edge patterns

作者：

Highlights：

• A novel algorithm, LMePVEP is proposed for biomedical image retrieval.

• The LMePVEP collects the relationship among the neighbors for a given center pixel

• The collecting relations among the neighbors are peak or valley edges.

• The performance of the LMePVEP is tested on two biomedical databases.
