- Abstract
- In this paper, we propose a new binary pixel matching method to measure the similarity of two objects based on the overlapped areas in a data warehouse. In the proposed approach, suspicious tumor objects are extracted as binary images that consist of background and foreground, which are compared based on counting overlapped pixels. Prior to measuring the exact similarity between two objects, a pre-processing stage is performed by calculating the difference in the shape index, performing rotation normalization, and estimating accurate similarity when the difference in the shape index is less than 50%. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach can significantly improve both the accuracy of similarity measurement and the performance of computational speed, when compared with traditional content based image retrieval method approaches that measure the similarity based on contours. © 2013 International Information Institute.
