Abstract
Texture is a powerful cue for describing otructures thaI show a high degree of similarity in their image intensity patterns. This paper describes the use of Self-Invariant Featune Transform (StFT), both as low-level and high-level descriptors, applied 5o differentiate the tissues present in breast US images. Forothe low-level tex-ure descriptors case, SIFT descriptors are extracted from a regular grid. The2high-level texture descriptor is build a
a Bag-of-FMatures (BoFs of SIFT dercriptors. Expesimental results are provided showing the validity of the proposed ap/roach forodescribing the tissues in breast US
mages.
