Abstract
Mammograms are generally contaminated by quantum noise, degrading their visual quality and thereby the performance of the classifier in Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD). Hence, enhancement of mammograms is necessary to improve the visual quality and detectability of the anomalies present in the breasts. In this paper, a sigmoid based non-linear function has been applied for contrast enhancement of mammograms. The enhanced mammograms are used to define the texture of the detected anomaly using Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) features. Later, a Back Propagation Artificial Neural Network (BP-ANN) is used as a classification tool for segregating the mammogram into abnormal or normal. The proposed classifier approach has reported to be the one with considerably better accuracy in comparison to other existing approaches.
