- Early stage cancer detection is essential for reducing cancer mortality. Screening programs such as that for cervical cancer are highly effective in preventing advanced stage cancers. One obstacle to the introduction of screening for other cancer types is the cost associated with manual inspection of the resulting cell samples. Computer assisted image analysis of cytology slides may offer a significant reduction of these costs. We are particularly interested in detection of cancer of the oral cavity, being one of the most common malignancies in the world, with an increasing tendency of incidence among young people. Due to the non-invasive accessibility of the oral cavity, automated detection may enable screening programs leading to early diagnosis and treatment.It is well known that variations in the chromatin texture of the cell nucleus are an important diagnostic feature. With an aim to maximize reliability of an automated cancer detection system for oral cancer detection, we evaluate three state of the art deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) approaches which are specialized for texture analysis. A powerful tool for texture description are local binary patterns (LBPs); they describe the pattern of variations in intensity between a pixel and its neighbours, instead of using the image intensity values directly. A neural network can be trained to recognize the range of patterns found in different types of images. Many methods have been proposed which either use LBPs directly, or are inspired by them, and show promising results on a range of different image classification tasks where texture is an important discriminative feature.We evaluate multiple recently published deep learning-based texture classification approaches: two of them (referred to as Model 1, by Juefei-Xu et al. (CVPR 2017); Model 2, by Li et al. (2018)) are inspired by LBP texture descriptors, while the third (Model 3, by Marcos et al. (ICCV 2017)), based on Rotation Equivariant Vector Field Networks, aims at preserving fine textural details under rotations, thus enabling a reduced model size. Performances are compared with state-of-the-art results on the same dataset, by Wieslander et al. (CVPR 2017), which are based on ResNet and VGG architectures. Furthermore a fusion of DCNN with LBP maps as in Wetzer et al. (Bioimg. Comp. 2018) is evaluated for comparison. Our aim is to explore if focus on texture can improve CNN performance.Both of the methods based on LBPs exhibit higher performances (F1-score for Model 1: 0.85; Model 2: 0.83) than what is obtained by using CNNs directly on the greyscale data (VGG: 0.78, ResNet: 0.76). This clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of LBPs for this type of image classification task. The approach based on rotation equivariant networks stays behind in performance (F1-score for Model 3: 0.72), indicating that this method may be less appropriate for classifying single-cell images.
