Table 2

Reduced feature set of each classification task. For each feature, the image from which it was extracted is indicated (if it is a first- or second-order feature), the feature name, and the value of the Mann-Whitney test. In bold are indicated the features that are significant, according to the Bonferroni correction for multiple comparison.
