Detection of bladder cancer with feature fusion, transfer learning and CapsNets

作者:

Highlights:

• A system to predict and classify bladder cancer according to its stage was proposed.

• It was proven the usability of features and DL approaches to classify bladder cancers.

• A feature fusion approach of LBP, DWT and new color-dependent HOG features was used.

• Capsule Networks showed potential to overcome CNNs weaknesses.

• 92% and 93%–96% accuracies were reached for Ensemble and DL approaches, respectively.
