Abstract
This report considers the development of several Machine Learning (ML) classifiers for the automatic diagnostic segmentation of Mueller Matrix polarimetric images of the uterine cervix. The analysed dataset includes polarimetric images obtained on 23 conization specimens in an ex vivo study conducted at the Kremlin-Bicêtre University Hospital in France. We demonstrate high level (>98%) accuracy for producing spatial masks of CIN/healthy zones regions when comparing directly with the pathological evaluated ground truth. The detailed results of numerous data tests, ML classifier training processes and avenues for improving the sensitivity and specificity of the developed techniques for “unseen” images are presented.
