چکیده مقاله:

This paper is concerned with the development of a novel classifier for automatic mass detection of mammograms, based on contourlet feature extraction in conjunction with statistical and fuzzy classifiers. In this method, mammograms are segmented into regions of interest (ROI) in order to extract features including geometrical and contourlet coefficients. The extracted features benefit from the superiority of the contourlet method to the state of the art multi-scale techniques. A genetic algorithm is applied for feature weighting with the objective of increasing classification accuracy. Although fuzzy classifiers are interpretable, the majority are order sensitive and suffer from the lack of generalization. In this study, a kernel SVM is integrated with a nerofuzzy rule-based classifier to form a support vector based fuzzy neural network ( SVFNN). This classifier benefits from the superior classification power of SVM in high dimensional data spaces and also from the efficient human-like reasoning of fuzzy and neural networks in handling uncertainty information. We use the Mammographic Image Analysis Society (MIAS) standard data set and the features extracted of the digital mammograms are applied to the fuzzy-SVM classifiers to assess the performance. Our experiments resulted in 95.6%,91.52%,89.02%, 85.31% classification accuracy for the subclass FSVM, SVFNN, fuzzy rule based and kernel SVM classifiers respectively and we conclude that the subclass fuzzy-SVM is superior to the other classifiers.

Automatic detection of clustered microcalcifications in digital mammograms using an SVM classifier

In this paper we investigate the performance of a Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system for the detection of clustered microcalcifications in mammograms. Our detection algorithm consists on the combination of two different methods. The first one, based on difference-image techniques and gaussianity statistical tests, finds out the most obvious signals. The second one is able to discover more su...

An SVM classifier to separate false signals from microcalcifications in digital mammograms.

In this paper we investigate the feasibility of using an SVM (support vector machine) classifier in our automatic system for the detection of clustered microcalcifications in digital mammograms. SVM is a technique for pattern recognition which relies on the statistical learning theory. It minimizes a function of two terms: the number of misclassified vectors of the training set and a term regar...
