Abstract

Colorectal cancer is among the highest incident cancers in the world. A fundamental procedure to diagnose it is the analysis of histological images acquired from a biopsy. Because of this, computer vision approaches have been proposed to help human specialists in such a task. In order to contribute to this field of research, this paper presents a novel way of analyzing colorectal images by using a very discriminative texture signature based on weights of a randomized neural network. For this, we addressed an important multi-class problem composed of eight types of tissues. The results were promising, surpassing the accuracies of many methods present in the literature. Thus, this performance confirms that the randomized neural network signature is an efficient tool for discriminating histological images from colorectal tissues.
