An Improved Asymmetric Bagging Relevance Feedback Strategy for Medical Image Retrieval

Much attention has been paid to relevant feedback in intelligent computation for social computing, especially in content-based image retrieval which based on WeChat platform for the medical auxiliary. It has a good effect on reducing the semantic gap between high semantics and low semantics of images. There are many kinds of support vector machines (SVM) based relevance feedback methods in image retrieval, but all of them may encounter some problems, such as a small size of sample, an asymmetric positive sample and negative sample as well as a long feedback cycle. To deal with these problems, an improved asymmetric bagging (IAB) relevance feedback algorithm is proposed. Furthermore, we apply a new fuzzy support machine (FSVM) to cooperate with IAB. To solve the over-fitting and real-time problems, we use modified local binary patterns (MLBP) as image features. Finally, experimental results demonstrate that our method performs other methods in terms of improving retrieval precision as well as retrieval efficiency.
