Vector textures derived from higher order derivative domains for classification of colorectal polyps
Visual Computing for Industry, Biomedicine, and Art, 2022 Textures have become widely adopted as an essential tool for lesion detection and classification through analysis of the lesion heterogeneities. In this study, higher order derivative images are being employed to combat the challenge of the poor contrast
