Classification of colorectal cancer based on the association of multidimensional and multiresolution features

作者:

Highlights:

• A new method that associates multidimensional and multiresolution approaches.

• We expanded the use of curvelet transform, haralick features and fractal techniques.

• The method was applied to investigate H&E images from distinct datasets.

• The method provides relevant rates, even with high levels of noise on the feature set.

• We indicated the best features and their relationship with histological information.
