In examining some of these ideas, the paper refers to software specimens from the p...

A new look at feature selection

One of the basic components of image information mining (IIM) systems is feature extraction. Feature extraction delivers a low level “building block” decomposition of the input data. In principle, feature extraction results may depend on the characteristics of the images to be analyzed. In order to avoid a critical dependence on a specific concept, we advocate a general feature finder toolbox a...
