Abstract
This article introduces a hybrid scheme that combines the advantages of pulse coupled neural networks (PCNNs) and support vector machine, in conjunction with type-II fuzzy sets and wavelet to enhance the contrast of the original images and feature extraction. An application of MRI breast cancer imaging has been chosen and hybridization scheme have been applied to see their ability and accuracy to classify the breast cancer images into two outcomes: cancer or non-cancer. In order to enhance the contrast of the input image, identify the region of interest and detect the boundary of the breast pattern, a type-II fuzzy-based enhancement and PCNN-based segmentation were applied. Finally, wavelet-based features are extracted and normalized and a support vector machine classifier were employed to evaluate the ability of the lesion descriptors for discrimination of different regions of interest to determine whether they represent cancer or not. To evaluate the performance of presented approach, we present tests on different breast MRI images.
