Soda and G.Iannello}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {In this paper we address the issue of classifying the fluorescent intensity of a sample in Indirect Immuno-Fluorescence (IIF). Since IIF is a subjective, semi-quantitative test in its very nature, we discuss a strategy to reliably label the image data set by using the diagnoses performed by different physicians. Then, we discuss image pre-processing, feature extraction and selection. Finally, we propose two ANN-based classifiers that can separate intrinsically dubious samples and whose error tolerance can be flexibly set. Measured performance shows error rates less than 1%, which candidates the method to be used in daily medical practice either to perform pre-selection of cases to be examined, or to act as a second reader. }, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {2}, number = {8}, year = {2008}, pages = {2752 - 2757}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/8631}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/20}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 20, 2008}, }
