Deep Learning and Handcrafted Features for Virus Image Classification

In this work, we present an ensemble of descriptors for the classification of virus images acquired using transmission electron microscopy. We trained multiple support vector machines on different sets of features extracted from the data. We used both handcrafted algorithms and a pretrained deep neu...
