Abstract

The technique of image processing is applied to diagnose breast cancer from digital mammogram image. The proposed work uses Contourlet transform to decompose the given gray-scale image. The spatial (textual and statistical) features are been extracted along with frequency domain coefficients. GLCM is the method used for extracting the feature values. Classification of image using support vector machine or artificial neural network classifiers is performed.
