  • Hessian-polar context: a descriptor for microfilaria recognition
    Publication . Al-Tam, Faroq; dos Anjos, Antonio; Shahbazkia, Hamid R.
    This paper presents a new effective descriptor for microfilaria. Since microfilaria is a thin elastic object, the proposed descriptor handles it locally. At each medial point of the microfilaria, the local structure of the microfilaria votes for a given shape. Accumulating these votes in the polar domain yields a rich descriptor. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach when compared to a set of different well-established methods.
