Classification Of Morphological Patterns using Adaptive Regional Elements (COMPARE)

NITRC: CBICA: COMPARE: Tool/Resource Info

COMPARE is a method for classification of structural brain magnetic resonance (MR) images, which is a combination of deformation-based morphometry and machine learning methods. Before running classification, a morphological representation of the anatomy of interest is obtained from structural MR brain images using a high-dimensional mass-preserving template warping method [12]. Regions that display strong correlations between tissue volumes and classification (clinical) variables learned from training samples are extracted using a watershed segmentation algorithm. To achieve robustness to outliers, the regional smoothness of the correlation map is estimated by a cross-validation strategy. A volume increment algorithm is then applied to these regions to extract regional volumetric features. To improve efficiency and generalization ability of the classification, a feature selection technique using Support Vector Machine-based criteria is used to select the most discriminative features, according to their effect on the upper bound of the leave-one-out generalization error. Finally, SVM-based classification is applied using the best set of features, and it is tested using a leave-one-out cross-validation strategy. Although the algorithm is designed for structural brain image classification, it is readily applicable for functional brain image classification with proper feature images.
