Abstract

In the last decade, machine learning plays a vital role in the detection of breast cancer. Mammography is a proficient tool for early stage detection of breast cancer. In this work, a simple technique for breast cancer image classification in l mammogram images is proposed. Highly discriminant local binary patterns are extracted from the wavelet normalized mammogram images. K-nearest neighbor classifier is used to categorize the abnormal cancer cell images. A mammogram database is created to evaluate the efficacy of our algorithm. From the experimental results, the performance of our algorithms is comparatively good with very less computational time.
