This paper proposes an algorithm for early detection of breast cancer. This work incorporates Manual segmentation and textural analysis for the mammogram mass classification. Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) features act as a powerful input to the classifiers. A total of 148 mammogram images were taken from authentic mini MIAS database and under the supervision of classifiers, solid breast nodules were classified into benign and malignant. The classifiers used are K-Nearest Neighbor (K -NN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Radial Basis Function Neural Network (R BFNN). It is found that RBFNN with DWT features outperform SVM and K-NN with 94.6% accuracy.The proposed system has a high potential for cancer detection from digital mammograms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
