Abstract
:Thymoma, a rare tumor from thymic epithelial cells, presents
diagnostic challenges due to the subjective nature of traditional
methods, leading to high false-negative rates and long diagnosis times.
This study introduces a thymoma classification technique that integrates
hyperspectral imaging with deep learning. We initially capture
pathological slice images of thymoma using a hyperspectral camera and
delineate regions of interest to extract spectral data. This data
undergoes reflectance calibration and noise reduction. Subsequently, we
transform the spectral data into two-dimensional images via the Gramian
Angular Field (GAF) method. A variant residual network is then utilized
to extract features and classify these images. Our results demonstrate
that this model significantly enhances classification accuracy and
efficiency, achieving an average accuracy of 95%. The method proves
highly effective in automated thymoma diagnosis, optimizing data
utilization and feature representation learning.
