21-3 A method for calculating image features for pathology image retrieval using relevance feedback

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new method for pathology image retrieval using relevance feedback. In this method, we select a past query image which is most similar to the current query image, and retrieve the database using the retrieval parameters determined by the past relevance feedback of the past query image. By a subjective experiment, we show that the proposed method increases precision compared to the conventional method.
