Classification of Pollen Apertures Using Bag of Words
2013
International audience; The taxonomical recognition of microscopic biological parti- cles such as pollen and spores is relevant for medical and aerobiological applications. Focusing on an accurate and automatic vision-based pollen recognition system, we propose a method for classification of pollen aper- tures based on bag-of-words strategy, with the ability of learning new types from different taxa without the need of new algorithms. Results demonstrate suitable performance and ability to add new taxa.
Sketch of an automatic image based pollen detection system
2012
The ability of measuring accurately airborne pollen concentration in the environment is an important goal for palynology. It has been unsatisfactory for agile usage to date. Huge volumes of airborne particles prevent palynologists from opportunely processing statistically suitable information. Additionally, measurements from stationary pollen monitors cannot be accurately associated to individuals. In the context of computer vision, this paper presents the outline for the structure of an image based pollen detection system, under the framework of the Personalized Pollen Profiling and Geospatial Mapping project based on individual information of allergic patient profile measured at multiple …
