Abstract
We present a new technique for the extraction of features from 3D volumetric data sets based on group integration. The features are invariant to translation, rotation and global radial deformations. They are robust to local arbitrary deformations and nonlinear gray value changes, but are still sensitive to fine structures. On a data set of 389 confocally scanned pollen from 26 species we get a precision/recall of 99.2% with a simple 1NN classifier. On volumetric transmitted light data sets of about 180,000 airborne particles, containing about 22,700 pollen grains from 33 species, recorded with a low-cost optic in a fully automated online pollen monitor the mean precision for allergenic pollen is 98.5% (recall: 86.5%) and for the other pollen 97.5% (recall: 83.4%).
