Abstract
Background and Objectives
Autofluorescence and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy have been used separately and combined for tissue diagnostics.

Recently bagging, boosting and the random subspace method have become popular combining techniques for improving weak classifiers. These techniques are designed for, and usually applied to, decision trees. In this paper, in contrast to a common opinion, we demonstrate that they m

In classifier combining, one tries to fuse the information that is given by a set of base classifiers. In such a process, one of the difficulties is how to deal with the variability between classifiers. Although various measures and many combining rules have been suggested in the

In the past few years a variety of successful algorithms to select/extract discriminative spectral bands was introduced. By exploiting the connectivity of neighbouring spectral bins, these techniques may be more beneficial than the standard feature selection/extraction methods ap

In combining classifiers, it is believed that diverse ensembles perform better than non-diverse ones. In order to test this hypothesis, we study the accuracy and diversity of ensembles obtained in bagging and boosting applied to the nearest mean classifier. In our simulation stud

Optical spectroscopy may be used for in vivo, noninvasive distinction of malignant from normal tissue. The aim of our study was to analyze the accuracy of various optical spectroscopic techniques for the classification of cancerous lesions of the bronchial tree. We developed a fi

Abstract Autofluorescence spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy have been suggested for lesion diagnostics. We investigate the information contained in autofluorescence and Raman spectra recorded from oral tissue slices of various lesion types. Thirty-seven human oral mucosa lesion

Detection of malignancies of the bronchial tree in an early stage, such as carcinoma in situ (CIS), augments the cure rate considerably. It has been shown that the sensitivity of autofluorescence bronchoscopy is better than white light bronchoscopy for the detection of CIS and dy
