This invention belongs to the technical field of image classification and discloses a medical image classification method based on Lie group kernel learning. The method includes acquiring low-level image features and representing them as a Lie group matrix; obtaining the
model parameters of an
SVM classifier and the pivot point for each class through a training image set; and selecting either an SVM or
KNN classifier to classify the images based on the geodesic distance between the class pivot point and each image to be classified, calculated using the Lie group kernel function on the Lie group manifold. This invention outperforms traditional image
classification methods in terms of classification accuracy. Compared to
artificial neural network methods, it has less dependence on training data and processes, and exhibits stronger generalization and deployability.
