In this paper we propose and examine a Vector Supported Convex Hull method for feature subset selection. Within feature subspaces, the method checks locations of vectors belonging to one class with respect to the convex hull of vectors belonging to the other class. Based on such analysis a coefficient is proposed for evaluation of subspace discrimination ability. The method allows for finding subspaces in which vectors of one class cluster and they are surrounded by vectors of the other class. The method is applied for selection of color and texture descriptors of capsule endoscope images. The study aims at finding a small set of descriptors for detection of pathological changes in the gastrointestinal tract. The results obtained by means of the Vector Supported Convex Hull are compared with results produced by a Support Vector Machine with the radial basis function kernel.
