This is acommon problem in real-world data, and, specifically, in medical image processing as, while images are composed of hundreds of thousands voxels, only areduced number of patients are available. Extracting descriptive and discriminative features allows representing each sample by a small number of features,which is particularly important in classification task, due to the curse of dimensionality problem. In this paper we solve this recognition problem by means ofsparse representations of the data, which also provides an arena to multimodalimage (PET and MRI) data classification by combining specialized classifiers.Thus, a novel method to effectively combine SVC classifiers is presented here,which uses the distance to the hyperplane computed for each class in each classifier allowing to select the most discriminative image modality in each case. Thediscriminative power of each modality also provides information about the illnessevolution; while functional changes are clearly found in Alzheimer’s diagnosedpatients (AD) when compared to control subjects (CN), structural changes seem tobe more relevant at the early stages of the illness, affecting Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) patients. Finally, classification experiments using 68 CN, 70 ADand 111 MCI images and assessed by cross-validation show the effectiveness ofthe proposed method. Accuracy values of up to 92% and 79% for CN/AD andCN/MCI classification are achieved.
