Automatic Differentiation of u- and n-serrated Patterns in Direct Immunofluorescence Images

Abstract: Abstract. Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) is a subepidermal autoimmune blistering disease of the skin. Manual u-and n-serrated patterns analysis in direct immunofluorescence (DIF) images is used in medical practice to differentiate EBA from other forms of pemphigoid. The manual analysis of serration patterns in DIF images is very challenging, mainly due to noise and lack of training of the immunofluorescence (IF) microscopists. There are no automatic techniques to distinguish these two types of serration… Show more

“…For subset 1, the recognition rate of u-serrated patterns is 84.6%, which is higher than the average recognition rate of 78.6% by trained medical doctors and pathologists [6] who perform the test on the same set. The proposed method performs significantly better than the other existing approach [13].…”

“…Here we explain how we detect the BMZ region before applying the proposed ridge-ending detectors. We use the algorithm proposed in [13] to segment the BMZ from the green channel (Fig. 10(b)) of a RGB DIF image (of size 1392 脳 1040 pixels).…”

“…A COSFIRE filter is configured to be selective for a given local pattern by extracting from that pattern characteristic properties of contour parts (such as orientation) and their geometrical arrangement. COSFIRE filters were demonstrated to be effective for detection of local patterns (keypoints) and recognition of objects and achieve very good performance in various applications [4,6,8,19,47,49,50]. They were also used in a multilayer hierarchical approach [6].…”
