Region of Interest Based Image Categorization

Region Of Interest Based Image Classification (ROIBIC) is a mechanism for categorising images according to some specific component or object that features across a given image set This paper describes and compares two such approaches The first is founded on a weighted graph mining technique whereby the ROI is represented using a tree structure which allows the application of a weighted graph mining technique to identify features of interest which can then be used as the foundation with which to build a classifier The second approach is founded on a time series analysis technique whereby the ROT are represented as time series which can then be used as the foundation for a Case Based Reasoner The presented evaluation focuses on MRI brain scan data where the classification is focused on the corpus callosum a distinctive region in MRI brain scan data Two scenarios are considered distinguishing between musicians and non musicians and epilepsy patient screening
