摘要

Indirect Immunofluorescence (IIF) of Human Epithelial Type-2 (HEp-2) cells treated with blood serum can determine thepresence of various antinuclear antibodies. This leads to diagnosis of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupuserythematosus, Sjogren’s syndrome, and rheumatoid arthritis. Although it is reliable, the subjective nature of interpretation inmanual IIF method gives rise to significant inter-observer variances. Hence, a computer aided system is necessary. In thiswork, an attempt has been made to classify HEp-2 staining patterns using Local Derivative pattern (LDP) features. Standardimages from a public domain database are used in this study. It consists of 1500 HEp-2 cell images belonging to five classesof staining patterns, namely centromere, coarse speckled, fine speckled, homogenous, and nucleolar. The images arepreprocessed to improve contrast using contrast stretching technique. Subsequently, nuclear particles are segmented usingOtsu thresholding and validated against ground truth provided in the dataset. LDP features along with global features such asarea, entropy and mean intensity are extracted from the segmented images. Subsequently, these features are used for thedifferentiation of texture patterns using SVM classifier with a polynomial kernel. The obtained results indicate that Otsubased thresholding after contrast stretching is able to segment nuclear particles in all the images. The extracted featuresincluding the LDP features prove to be useful in classifying HEp-2 staining pattern with an accuracy of 73.73%. As IIFmicroscopy using HEp-2 cells is the gold standard for autoimmune disease diagnosis, the proposed work seems to be highlyrelevant in a clinical setting.
