RESUMEN
Along with the increasing medical image data,it is imperative to set up an effective system about medical image retrieval.Essentially,the image classification is crucial for medical image retrieval.As a distribution pattern of image gray scale,texture is an important character.Wavelet multi-scale decomposition is essentially multi-channel filtering and its multi-resolution analysis structure is identical with human visual system.So the extraction of texture feature under different resolutions after multi-band wavelets transform is of great benefit to image recognition and image retrieval.Consequently,this paper designs an image classification method based on eight-band wavelet.This method solves the key technology in the medical image retrieval,and it gains very high classification rate.
