This paper presents a comprehensive discussion on the segmentation of mammograms using morphological texture features. These features are derived from morphological granulometries with various structuring elements. Each structuring element captures a speci c texture content. The segmentation is carried out in an unsupervised manner by applying the KL transform feature reduction and Voronoi clustering on the extracted morphological texture features. The evaluation of the segmentation outcome by a trained radiologist is provided.
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.
