Spatial-HMM:A new approach for Semantic Annotation of Histological

This paper presents a new spatial-HMM for automatically classifying and annotating histological images. Our model is a 2D generalization of HMM. Given a matrix of feature vectors for all blocks in an image, the most appropriate semantic labels determined by our models are used for annotation. Our experimental results showed that our model is superior to HMM in both recognition and annotation accuracy
