Only one algorithm is applied to a given image, according to the prediction of a binary classifier trained to distinguish graphical illustrations from other images in biomedical articles. Our submission to the ImageCLEF 2015 compound figure separation task achieved an accuracy of 49% on the provided test set of about 3400 compound images. This stays clearly behind the best submission of other participants (85% accuracy), but is by an order of magnitude faster than other approaches reported in the literature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We participated in the compound figure separation subtask of the ImageCLEF 2015 medical classification task (group AAUITEC).
