Digital mammogram has become the most effective technique for early breast cancer detection modality. Digital mammogram takes an electronic image of the breast and stores it directly in a computer. High quality mammogram images are high resolution and large size images. Processing these images require high computational capabilities. The transmission of these images over the net is sometimes critical especially if the diagnosis of remote radiologists is required. The aim of this study is to develop an automated system for assisting the analysis of digital mammograms. Computer image processing techniques will be applied to enhance images and this is followed by segmentation of the region of interest (ROI). Subsequently, the textural features will be extracted from the ROI. These texture features will be used to classify the microcalcifications as either malignant or benign.

A Novel and Efficient Lifting Scheme based Super Resolution Reconstruction fo...CSCJournals
Mammography is the most effective method for early detection of breast diseases. However, the typical diagnostic signs, such as masses and microcalcifications, are difficult to be detected because mammograms are low contrast and noisy images. We concentrate on a special case of super resolution reconstruction for early detection of cancer from low resolution mammogram images. Super resolution reconstruction is the process of combining several low resolution images into a single higher resolution image. This paper describes a novel approach for enhancing the resolution of mammographic images. We are proposing an efficient lifting wavelet based denoising with adaptive interpolation for super resolution reconstruction. Under this frame work, the digitized low resolution mammographic images are decomposed into many levels to obtain different frequency bands. We use Daubechies (D4) lifting schemes to decompose low resolution mammogram images into multilevel scale and wavelet coefficients. Then our proposed novel soft thresholding technique is used to remove the noisy coefficients, by fixing optimum threshold value. In order to obtain an image of higher resolution adaptive interpolation is applied. Our proposed lifting wavelet transform based restoration and adaptive interpolation preserves the edges as well as smoothens the image without introducing artifacts. The proposed algorithm avoids the application of iterative method, reduces the complexity of calculation and applies to large dimension low-resolution images. Experimental results show that the proposed approach has succeeded in obtaining a high-resolution mammogram image with a high PSNR, ISNR ratio and a good visual quality.
A survey on enhancing mammogram image saradha arumugam academiaPunit Karnani
This document summarizes research on enhancing mammogram images to improve the detection of breast cancer. It discusses how mammogram images have low contrast and are noisy, making it difficult to identify microcalcifications that could indicate cancer. Various image enhancement techniques are reviewed that aim to improve contrast, reduce noise, and sharpen edges to make microcalcifications more visible. The techniques discussed include nonlinear unsharp masking, wavelet-based enhancement, adaptive contrast enhancement, and integrated wavelet decompositions. Evaluation of the techniques suggests they can improve cancer diagnosis by enhancing image details and increasing radiologist performance.
A Review of Super Resolution and Tumor Detection Techniques in Medical Imagingijtsrd
Images with high resolution are desirable in many applications such as medical imaging, video surveillance, astronomy etc. In medical imaging, images are obtained for medical investigative purposes and for providing information about the anatomy, the physiologic and metabolic activities of the volume below the skin. Medical imaging is an important diagnosis instrument to determine the presence of certain diseases. Therefore increasing the image resolution should significantly improve the diagnosis ability for corrective treatment. Brain tumor detection is used for identifying the tumor present in the Brain. MRI images help the doctors for identifying the Brain tumor size and shape of the tumor. The purpose of this report to provide a survey of research related super resolution and tumor detection methods. Fathimath Safana C.

Breast Cancer Detection using Convolution Neural NetworkIRJET Journal
This document discusses using convolutional neural networks to detect breast cancer from images. It begins with an abstract stating that breast cancer starts as uncontrolled growth of breast cells that can form tumors. Early detection at the first stage allows for curing. The proposed approach uses a convolutional neural network to take input images, perform preprocessing, compare to a database of cancer images, and detect cancer along with its stage to recommend treatment. It discusses using CNN algorithms inspired by the visual cortex to perform image recognition like humans. The document provides definitions of CNNs and deep learning, technologies used like image processing, and concludes that detecting and treating cancer early at its first stage is preferable.
This document proposes using a DenseNet-II neural network model to classify mammogram images as benign or malignant. It first preprocesses mammogram images through normalization and data augmentation. It then improves the original DenseNet model by replacing the first convolutional layer with an Inception structure, creating a new DenseNet-II model. This model, along with other common models, are tested on mammogram data and the DenseNet-II model achieves the highest average accuracy of 94.55% for benign-malignant classification.
Image processing techniques play a significant role in many areas in life, especially

A Virtual Instrument to Detect Masses In Breast Cancer using CAD toolstheijes
Breast cancer is the second-most driving and normal explanation behind death in view of tumor among one in every ten women. It has become a major health problem in the world over the past 50 years, and it has increased in recent years. Early detection is an effective way to diagnose and manage breast cancer. Mammography is the best and most suitable imaging technique for treatment of cancer at the early stage. The problems in mammography images such as high brightness value, dense tissues, noise and inefficient contrast level make analysis of these images a hard task for physicians for mass identification. This paper presents a CAD tool which are combination of image processing techniques to remove noise and enhancement of mammography images for identification & classification of masses. Efficient methods includes wavelet transformation and adaptive histogram equalization techniques, in addition with fusion techniques are used. Algorithms for identification of signs are tested on five patients, the associated abnormalities are clearly identified. The images for experimentation are taken from radiopedia. Experimental results show that a detection rate of 94.44% or higher can be achieved using this method, hence improved accuracy in breast cancer lesion detection. The proposed system achieves 100% sensitivity and 2.56 false positive for every image
3D mammography is a new technology that produces 3D images of breast tissue by combining multiple x-ray images taken from different angles. Clinical trials have found that 3D mammography increases cancer detection rates by 47% compared to standard 2D mammography. It also reduces unnecessary patient recalls by 28-40% by minimizing issues with dense breast tissue. The enhanced 3D images allow for more precise localization of abnormalities. 3D mammography has the potential to improve outcomes by finding more cancers early while also reducing patient anxiety and healthcare costs from unnecessary additional testing.
This document discusses using MATLAB to detect breast cancer through analysis of mammogram and thermal images. It introduces breast cancer and explains that early detection is key to successful treatment. Currently, mammography and thermography are used for detection, but mammography has weaknesses like pain and radiation. The purpose of this project is to design a system to detect signs in mammogram and thermal images using image processing techniques in MATLAB. Mammogram images will be analyzed using morphology before feature extraction and classification. Thermal images will have features extracted from the heat distribution to identify possible cancer areas.

Artificial neural network based cancer cell classificationAlexander Decker
This document summarizes an artificial neural network (ANN) based system called ANN-C3 for cancer cell classification using medical images. The system performs image pre-processing, segmentation using Harris corner detection and region growing, feature extraction of Tamura texture features, and classification using a neural network ensemble. Segmentation detects threshold points using Harris corner detection and performs region growing from these seed points. Feature extraction converts the image data into numerical form using Tamura texture features that capture variations in illumination and surfaces that human vision and surgeons use to differentiate cancerous and non-cancerous cells. The neural network is trained on a large set of labeled data to accurately classify cells.

Modern three dimensional 3 D medical imaging offers the potential and promise for major advances in science and medicine as higher fidelity images are produced. Due to advances in computer aided diagnosis and continuous progress in the field of computerized medical image visualization, there is need to develop one of the most important fields within scientific imaging. From the early basis report on cancer patients it has been seen that a greater number of people die of lung cancer than from other cancers such as colon, breast and prostate cancers combined. Lung cancer are related to smoking or secondhand smoke , or less often to exposure to radon or other environmental factors that’s why this can be prevented. But still it is not yet clear if these cancers can be prevented or not.

3D mammography provides improved detection of breast cancer compared to traditional 2D mammography. The 3D mammogram process takes only a few seconds longer than a standard mammogram and works by capturing millimeter-thick images from different angles as the arm moves slightly during breast compression. These images are then reassembled with advanced software to create a 3D image, allowing for clearer visualization and a 35% improvement in cancer detection rates compared to 2D mammograms. Radiation exposure is the same as a standard mammogram and insurance and payment options are available to make 3D mammograms affordable.

The 3D mammogram process takes only a few seconds longer than a standard mammogram and works by capturing millimeter-thick images from different angles as the arm moves slightly during breast compression. These images are then reassembled with advanced software to create a 3D image, allowing for clearer visualization and a 35% improvement in cancer detection rates compared to 2D mammograms. Radiation exposure is the same as a standard mammogram and insurance and payment options are available to make 3D mammograms affordable.
This document provides information about various breast imaging techniques including mammography. It describes what a mammogram is, the history of mammography, how mammograms are performed, what they can detect like masses and microcalcifications, and how results are categorized using BI-RADS. Other modalities like ultrasound and MRI are also discussed. Limitations of mammography include false negatives, overdiagnosis, and difficulty in dense breasts. Mammogram plans vary depending on a woman's history and any breast surgery or implants. Newer techniques like tomosynthesis aim to improve cancer detection.
The document discusses evaluation and management of various breast conditions including nipple discharge, breast masses, fibrocystic changes, and breast cancer. Key points include:
- Bilateral nipple discharge may indicate prolactinoma and workup should include prolactin and TSH levels.
- Unilateral nonbloody nipple discharge is often due to intraductal papilloma while bloody discharge raises concern for malignancy.
- Fibroadenomas typically present as mobile breast nodules.
- Fibrocystic changes usually cause cyclical breast pain and lumps in young women.
- Mammogram is the next step to evaluate microcalcifications, and core biopsy is used to sample suspicious lesions
Breast cancer is the most common female cancer in the US and the second most common cause of cancer death in women. Risk factors include age, family history, lifestyle factors, and reproductive history. Evaluation of breast complaints requires a thorough history, physical exam including triple assessment with mammography, ultrasound and biopsy. Staging involves assessing tumor size, lymph node involvement and metastasis. Treatment may involve neoadjuvant chemotherapy, surgery such as mastectomy or lumpectomy with radiation, and adjuvant systemic therapy.
Este documento compara la tomosíntesis y la mamografía digital, indicando que la tomosíntesis puede detectar hasta un 40% más de cánceres que la mamografía digital sola. La tomosíntesis ofrece una mejor evaluación del tamaño de tumores, asimetrías, distorsiones arquitectónicas y contornos de lesiones, especialmente en senos densos. Sin embargo, la tomosíntesis tiene mayores costos y requiere más tiempo del radiólogo para revisar e informar los resultados.

This document discusses techniques for breast examination and signs of breast cancer. It describes various types of lumps, skin changes, and nipple disorders that may indicate breast cancer, including hard or soft lumps, skin dimpling or redness, nipple inversion or discharge. It also summarizes ductal carcinoma in situ, invasive ductal carcinoma, invasive lobular carcinoma, and how cancer can spread through lymph or blood vessels. Risk factors like genetics, lifestyle, and environment that may contribute to breast cancer development are outlined. Diagrams depict breast anatomy and different stages of cancer progression.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women. It occurs due to an interaction between environmental and genetic factors. There are two main types - in situ (non-invasive) and invasive (has spread). Diagnosis involves mammograms, ultrasounds, biopsies and other tests. Treatment depends on cancer stage but commonly includes surgery (mastectomy or lumpectomy), chemotherapy, hormone therapy, radiation therapy, and targeted monoclonal antibody therapy. Risk factors include obesity, family history, lifestyle factors. Early detection through screening and awareness is important for improved outcomes.
This document provides an overview of breast cancer, including risk factors, signs and symptoms, causes, diagnosis, treatment options and prevention strategies. It notes that breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women. While the chances of developing breast cancer increase with age, early detection through screening and awareness of changes to the breasts can help lead to successful treatment if cancer is found early. A variety of treatment options exist depending on the type and stage of cancer diagnosed. Lifestyle factors may also impact risk.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death and second most common cancer in women. It occurs when abnormal cells in the breast grow in an uncontrolled way and form tumors. The breasts contain lobes and lobules which produce milk, connected by ducts. The two main types are ductal carcinoma, originating in the ducts, and lobular carcinoma, originating in the lobules. Risk factors include gender, age, family history, obesity, lack of exercise, alcohol consumption, and hormone therapy. Screening methods include breast self-exams, clinical exams by a doctor, and mammography. Treatment options depend on cancer stage and may involve surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy. With early detection and treatment, the
Automated breast cancer detection system from breast mammogram using deep neu...nooriasukmaningtyas
All over the world breast cancer is a major disease which mostly affects the women and it may also cause death if it is not diagnosed in its early stage. But nowadays, several screening methods like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound imaging, thermography and mammography are available to detect the breast cancer. In this article mammography images are used to detect the breast cancer. In mammography image the cancerous lumps/microcalcifications are seen to be tiny with low contrast therefore it is difficult for the doctors/radiologist to detect it. Hence, to help the doctors/radiologist a novel system based on deep neural network is introduced in this article that detects the cancerous lumps/microcalcifications automatically from the mammogram images. The system acquires the mammographic images from the mammographic image analysis society (MIAS) data set. After pre-processing these images by 2D median image filter, cancerous features are extracted from the images by the hybridization of convolutional neural network with rat swarm optimization algorithm. Finally, the breast cancer patients are classified by integrating random forest with arithmetic optimization algorithm. This system identifies the breast cancer patients accurately and its performance is relatively high compared to other approaches.

A New Approach to the Detection of Mammogram Boundary IJECEIAES
Mammography is a method used for the detection of breast cancer. computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) systems help the radiologist in the detection and interpretation of mass in breast mammography. One of the important information of a mass is its contour and its form because it provides valuable information about the abnormality of a mass. The accuracy in the recognition of the shape of a mass is related to the accuracy of the detected mass contours. In this work we propose a new approach for detecting the boundaries of lesion in mammography images based on region growing algorithm without using the threshold, the proposed method requires an initial rectangle surrounding the lesion selected manually by the radiologist (Region Of Interest), where the region growing algorithm applies on lines segments that attach each pixel of this rectangle with the seed point, such as the ends (seeds) of each line segment grow in a direction towards one another. The proposed approach is evaluated on a set of data with 20 masses of the MIAS base whose contours are annotated manually by expert radiologists. The performance of the method is evaluated in terms of specificity, sensitivity, accuracy and overlap. All the findings and details of approach are presented in detail.

It discusses machine learning and image processing techniques that have been used to build computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems to help pathologists diagnose breast cancer more objectively and consistently. The document reviews different classification methods that have been proposed, including those using fuzzy logic, level set methods, convolutional neural networks, texture features and ensemble methods. It concludes that accurately classifying histopathological images remains challenging due to limited publicly available datasets and variability in tissue appearance, but that machine learning and advanced image analysis offer promising approaches to improve cancer detection and diagnosis.
Deep Learning Techniques for Breast Cancer Risk Prediction.pptxAnuraag Moharana
This document describes a deep learning model for breast cancer risk prediction from histopathology images. The goal is to create a web-based tool using a CNN model to batch analyze image patches and predict breast cancer presence. Existing methods are time-consuming and error-prone. The proposed solution trains a CNN to classify images as malignant or benign, achieving over 75% accuracy. This model is deployed as a web app for pathologists to get instant predictions, helping guide screening and prevention. While not replacing physicians, the tool could improve early detection and outcomes.
Modified fuzzy rough set technique with stacked autoencoder model for magneti...IJECEIAES
Breast cancer is the common cancer in women, where early detection reduces the mortality rate. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images are efficient in analyzing breast cancer, but it is hard to identify the abnormalities. The manual breast cancer detection in MRI images is inefficient; therefore, a deep learning-based system is implemented in this manuscript. Initially, the visual quality improvement is done using region growing and adaptive histogram equalization (AHE), and then, the breast lesion is segmented by Otsu thresholding with morphological transform. Next, the features are extracted from the segmented lesion, and a modified fuzzy rough set technique is proposed to reduce the dimensions of the extracted features that decreases the system complexity and computational time. The active features are fed to the stacked autoencoder for classifying the benign and malignant classes. The results demonstrated that the proposed model attained 99% and 99.22% of classification accuracy on the benchmark datasets, which are higher related to the comparative classifiers: decision tree, naïve Bayes, random forest and k-nearest neighbor (KNN). The obtained results state that the proposed model superiorly screens and detects the breast lesions that assists clinicians in effective therapeutic intervention and timely treatment.
A Progressive Review: Early Stage Breast Cancer Detection using Ultrasound Im...IRJET Journal

3) Machine learning algorithms like convolutional neural networks have shown promise in classifying ultrasound images to detect breast cancer when trained on large datasets.
Breast cancer detection using ensemble of convolutional neural networksIJECEIAES
Early detection leading to timely treatment in the initial stages of cancer may decrease the breast cancer death rate. We propose deep learning techniques along with image processing for the detection of tumors. The availability of online datasets and advances in graphical processing units (GPU) have promoted the application of deep learning models for the detection of breast cancer. In this paper, deep learning models using convolutional neural network (CNN) have been built to automatically classify mammograms into benign and malignant. Issues like overfitting and dataset imbalance are overcome. Experimentation has been done on two publicly available datasets, namely mammographic image analysis society (MIAS) database and digital database for screening mammography (DDSM). Robustness of the models is accomplished by merging the datasets. In our experimentation, MatConvNet has achieved an accuracy of 94.2% on the merged dataset, performing the best amongst all the CNN models used individually. Hungarian optimization algorithm is employed for selection of individual CNN models to form an ensemble. Ensemble of CNN models led to an improved performance, resulting in an accuracy of 95.7%.
The current big challenge facing radiologists in healthcare is the automatic detection and classification of masses in breast mammogram images. In the last few years, many researchers have proposed various solutions to this problem. These solutions are effectively dependent and work on annotated breast image data. But these solutions fail when applied to unlabeled and non-annotated breast image data. Therefore, this paper provides the solution to this problem with the help of a neural network that considers any kind of unlabeled data for its procedure. In this solution, the algorithm automatically extracts tumors in images using a segmentation approach, and after that, the features of the tumor are extracted for further processing. This approach used a double thresholding-based segmentation technique to obtain a perfect location of the tumor region, which was not possible in existing techniques in the literature. The experimental results also show that the proposed algorithm provides better accuracy compared to the accuracy of existing algorithms in the literature.

Mammogram image enhancement techniques for detecting breast cancerPunit Karnani
This document reviews and compares several techniques for enhancing mammogram images to aid in the early detection of breast cancer. It discusses methods such as wavelet-based enhancement, iterative smoothing and sharpening, dyadic wavelet processing using gradient and Laplacian filters, and particle swarm optimization combined with contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization. The techniques aim to highlight subtle features like masses and microcalcifications, reduce noise, and maximize contrast to assist radiologists in cancer diagnosis. Evaluation of the methods suggests they can improve detection rates compared to traditional techniques.
This document provides a comprehensive review and analysis of mammogram enhancement and segmentation techniques. It categorizes mammogram enhancement methods into four groups: conventional, region-based, feature-based, and fuzzy enhancement. Region-based and feature-based techniques can be used to enhance masses, while feature-based and fuzzy methods can also enhance micro-calcifications. The document also categorizes mammogram segmentation into breast region segmentation and region of interest segmentation. Region of interest segmentation using a single view is further divided into unsupervised techniques like region-based, contour-based, and clustering segmentation. The document evaluates and compares various enhancement and segmentation algorithms and highlights the best available approaches.

Early detection of breast cancer using mammography images and software engine...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The breast cancer has affected a wide region of women as a particular case. Therefore, different researchers have focused on the early detection of this disease to overcome it in efficient way. In this paper, an early breast cancer detection system has been proposed based on mammography images. The proposed system adopts deep-learning technique to increase the accuracy of detection. The convolutional neural network (CNN) model is considered for preparing the datasets of training and test. It is important to note that the software engineering process model has been adopted in constructing the proposed algorithm. This is to increase the reliably, flexibility and extendibility of the system. The user interfaces of the system are designed as a website used at country side general purpose (GP) health centers for early detection to the disease under lacking in specialist medical staff. The obtained results show the efficiency of the proposed system in terms of accuracy up to more than 90% and decrease the efforts of medical staff as well as helping the patients. As a conclusion, the proposed system can help patients by early detecting the breast cancer at far places from hospital and referring them to nearest specialist center.
Feature Selection Mammogram based on Breast Cancer Mining IJECEIAES
The very dense breast of mammogram image makes the Radiologists often have difficulties in interpreting the mammography objectively and accurately. One of the key success factors of computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system is the use of the right features. Therefore, this research emphasizes on the feature selection process by performing the data mining on the results of mammogram image feature extraction. There are two algorithms used to perform the mining, the decision tree and the rule induction. Furthermore, the selected features produced by the algorithms are tested using classification algorithms: k-nearest neighbors, decision tree, and naive bayesian with the scheme of 10-fold cross validation using stratified sampling way. There are five descriptors that are the best features and have contributed in determining the classification of benign and malignant lesions as follows: slice, integrated density, area fraction, model gray value, and center of mass. The best classification results based on the five features are generated by the decision tree algorithm with accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, FPR, and TPR of 93.18%; 87.5%; 3.89%; 6.33% and 92.11% respectively.
Computer Aided System for Detection and Classification of Breast CancerIJITCA Journal
Breast cancer is one of the most important causes of death among all type of cancers for grown-up and
older women, mainly in developed countries, and its rate is rising. Since the cause of this disease is not yet
known, early detection is the best way to decrease the breast cancer mortality. At present, early detection of
breast cancer is attained by means of mammography. An intelligent computer-aided diagnosis system can
be very helpful for radiologist in detecting and diagnosing cancerous cell patterns earlier and faster than
typical screening programs. This paper proposes a computer aided system for automatic detection and
classification of breast cancer in mammogram images. Intuitionistic Fuzzy C-Means clustering technique
has been used to identify the suspicious region or the Region of Interest automatically. Then, the feature
data base is designed using histogram features, Gray Level Concurrence wavelet features and wavelet
energy features. Finally, the feature database is submitted to self-adaptive resource allocation network
classifier for classification of mammogram image as normal, benign or malignant. The proposed system is
verified with 322 mammograms from the Mammographic Image Analysis Society Database. The results
show that the proposed system produces better results.
This document presents research on using machine learning algorithms to predict breast cancer. Six classification algorithms (logistic regression, decision tree, KNN, random forest, SVM, naive Bayes) are tested on a breast cancer dataset containing 569 cases. The algorithms are trained on 80% of the data and tested on the remaining 20%. Logistic regression and random forest achieved the highest testing accuracy of 96.49%. The results indicate that machine learning algorithms can accurately predict breast cancer and may help pathologists in diagnosis.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

appear :
On each subband
Over a very
homogeneous background.
Most of the transform coefficients:
-The coefficients corresponding to the
injuries are far from background value.
A conservative threshold of 3σi;j is selected:
where σi;j is the standard deviation of the corresponding subband y I,j .
89. Weight Selection
The Contourlet Transform
Exhaustive tests:
-Consist on evaluating subjectively a set of 322 different mammograms
-With Different combinations of values,
The weights W1, and W2 are determined:
- as W1 = 3 σi;j and W2 = 4 σi;j
These weights are chosen to:
keep the relationship W1 < W2:
-Because the W factor is a gain
-More gain at the edges are wanted.

This method works best for :
-- Detecting a specific object
(for example, the elephant in the reference image,
rather than any elephant.)
-- Non-repeating texture patterns
-- Unique feature
This technique is not likely to work well for:
-- Uniformly-colored objects
-- Objects containing repeating patterns.

Where is MC?
OBSERVATION-2:
-There is more detail,
but could be noise.
-Enhanced version
seems to contain
compression artifacts.
217. More Evaluation (Gabor)

OBSERVATION-3:
-Image Smoothing
to remove edge will
Vanish the existence
of MC
-No definite feature of MC
- Noise dominant

228. Observation & Drawing Conclusion Feature Detection
• Reduced in resolution
(Is not good enough for MC to be detectable)
• Very Poor Quality with .jpeg compression effects
(Original MIAS doesn’t have such artifacts)
Limitations of mini-MIAS:
What can be done using mini-MIAS ?
• Can be used for big object detection
(Pectoral Muscle, X-ray Label, Tumor, Mass detection)
Conclusion: mini-MIAS is not a good choice for:
MC feature extraction

241. Future Plan
1. Segment the image
2. Find out the feature from
the segmented image
3. Train the machine with features:
-ANN (Artificial Neural Network)
-SVM (Support Vector Machine)
- GentleBoost Classifier [30]
4. Identify the MC
5. Classify the MC
