Abstract This paper is concerned with kernel-based techniques for categorizing laryngeal disorders based on information extracted from sequences of laryngeal colour images. The features used to characterize a laryngeal image are given by the kernel principal components computed using the N-vector of the 3-D colour histogram. The least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) is designed for categorizing an image sequence into the healthy, nodular and diffuse classes. The kernel function employed by the SVM classifier is defined over a pair of matrices, rather than over a pair of vectors. An encouraging classification performance was obtained when testing the developed tools on data recorded during routine laryngeal videostroboscopy.
