Abstract:
Pollen classification is crucial for the prevention of pollen allergy diseases. Light Microscope (LM) based pollen classification methods have received more attention. However, a large number of LM images in the real world have blurring problems, which seriously affect the classifier's classification accuracy. To address these problems, an image quality assessment (IQA) method is considered to pick high-definition pollen datasets for aiding in solving classifier's low accuracy problem. Unlike existing image quality assessment methods that are commonly based on global features, we focus on the local texture information of pollen grains. We propose an image quality assessment method for small pollen grains in pollen images, which consists of three main modules. First, in the global IQA model, Siamese network is applied to focus on the coarse-grained image quality information. Secondly, in the Local IQA module, pollen grain fine-grained texture information is considered and incorporated into the image quality information. Finally, in the IQA fusion model, Global IQA and Local IQA are integrated based on a weighting strategy. On the IQA pollen dataset, this method showed a 13.8% improvement in accuracy compared to well-expressed quality assessment methods. To verify the effectiveness of this paper's quality assessment method applied to the classification problem, we compare the classification performance of introducing different quality assessment methods. The classification method with the introduction of this paper's image quality assessment improves the average accuracy by 3%. © 2023 IEEE.
