This study presents SAGE, an algorithm enhancing object classification by analyzing spatial clustering. SAGE significantly improves classifier performance, particularly for retinal lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Medical image analysis
  • Computer vision
  • Machine learning

Background:

  • Accurate classification of discrete objects in images is challenging.
  • Objects often exhibit spatial clustering, which can be leveraged for improved identification.
  • Existing methods may not fully utilize spatial relationships for classification enhancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce SAGE (Spatial Aggregation-based GEometry) algorithm for enhancing object classification.
  • To demonstrate the effectiveness of SAGE in improving classification accuracy by incorporating spatial clustering information.
  • To evaluate SAGE's performance across different classification models and lesion types.

Main Methods:

  • Developed SAGE algorithm to build spatial distribution maps of objects and confounds.
