In this work, we present an ensemble of descriptors for the classification of virus images acquired using transmission electron microscopy. We trained multiple support vector machines on different sets of features extracted from the data. We used both handcrafted algorithms and a pretrained deep neural network as feature extractors. The proposed fusion strongly boosts the performance obtained by each stand-alone approach, obtaining state of the art performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
