Enhanced Feature Extraction, Selection and Classification of MRI and Mammogram Texture Analysis

Abstract: The MRI and mammogram texture analysis matrix itself does not directly provide a single feature that may be used for texture discrimination. Instead, the matrix can be used as a representation scheme for the texture image and the features are computed. Feature selection is focused on many areas, especially in artificial intelligence, medical image processing, Data Mining [Dom et al.] and pattern recognition. Classification of objects is an important area of research and of practical applications in a variety of fields, including pattern recognition, artificial intelligence and vision analysis. Classifier design can be performed with labelled or unlabelled data.
