Medical Image Retrieval Method Basedon Local Binary Pattern Operator and Earth Movers' Distance

Nowadays the medical image retrieval approach based on Local Binary Pattern operators is a hot topic. But most of the approaches are using chi-square distance,which has inevitable disadvantages. In this paper,a novel medical image retrieval approach based on Local Binary Pattern and Earth Movers' Distance is proposed. The experimental results show that the precision and recall of retrieval are higher compared with chi-square distance.
