초록

Mammogram images are sensitive in nature and even a minor change in the environment affects the qualityof the images. Due to the lack of expert radiologists, it is difficult to interpret the mammogram images. In thispaper an algorithm is proposed for a computer-aided diagnosis system, which is based on the wavelet basedadaptive sigmoid function. The cascade feed-forward back propagation technique has been used for trainingand testing purposes. Due to the poor contrast in digital mammogram images it is difficult to process theimages directly. Thus, the images were first processed using the wavelet based adaptive sigmoid function andthen the suspicious regions were selected to extract the features. A combination of texture features and graylevelco-occurrence matrix features were extracted and used for training and testing purposes. The system wastrained with 150 images, while a total 100 mammogram images were used for testing. A classificationaccuracy of more than 95% was obtained with our proposed method.
