Beyond Morphology: Quantifying the Diagnostic Power of Color Features in Cancer Classification
Researchers have developed a method to quantify the diagnostic power of color features in cancer classification, separate from morphological cues. By analyzing statistical color moments and discretized RGB/HSV histograms, their models achieved up to 89% accuracy in distinguishing benign from malignant samples. This suggests that simple color features alone can encode a significant diagnostic signal, potentially serving as an efficient pre-screening tool for cancer detection. AI
