Enhancement and Segmentation for Detection of Breast Cancer in Mammograms
Main Article Content
Abstract
Decimated wavelet transform have previously been used in detection of breast cancer in mammograms though their use always come with a rigorous drawback due to the absence of translation invariance of the representations and as a result, a large artifacts number is introduced into the reconstruction after the wavelet coefficients are processed. However, an undecimated wavelet transform effectively copes with this drawback since its providence of a redundant representation leads to the exhibition of the translation variance thus improving the enhancement and segmentation results.
