Intelligent classification technique for breast cancer classification using digital image processing approach

With the development of digital image technology, judging diseases by medical image plays an important role in medical diagnosis. Mammography is the most effective imaging examination method for breast cancer at present. Intelligent segmentation and identification of breast cancer images and judging their size and classification by digital image processing technology can promote the development of clinical medicine. This paper introduces the preprocessing technology of breast cancer pathological image and medical image recognition technology of breast cancer. In order to improve the segmentation accuracy of image processing and optimize, the segmentation recognition ability in digital mammography was improved. Based on the technical basis of pathological image analysis of breast cancer, the architecture of intelligent segmentation and recognition system for breast cancer was constructed, and each functional module of intelligent system was introduced in detail. Based on digital image processing technology, filtering technology is used to reduce dryness and improve the clarity of the image. Public datasets INBreast and DDSM-BCRP were used to verify system’s performance, and it was tested on the breast cancer image test set. The experiment shows that the comprehensive performance of the intelligent segmentation and recognition system can realize the segmentation and recognition of breast cancer and has higher accuracy and interpretability, which is helpful to improve the diagnosis of doctors.

Mobile Screening

This work presents a qualitative measurement of anterior segment photographed images (ASPIs) to identify between normal eyes and eyes with pterygium and pinguecula through Otsu multi-thresholding approach without contrast enhancement. In addition, we also propose a mobile screening framework of ASPIs through smartphones. ASPIs were directly sent to the cloud storage once an ASPI was captured using a smartphone camera, and then each image was processed through a digital image processing approach in a processing platform. Three important steps, namely, pre-processing, image segmentation and qualitative assessment, are involved in the processing platform of the mobile screening framework. The ASPIs are pre-processed to minimise or eliminate any unwanted areas within the image. Then, these ASPIs are segmented through multi-thresholding Otsu approach with clustering number n = 3. Segmentation result shows that the accuracy of the proposed method is 87.5%, which is comparable with the previously established work that has applied three-step differencing (3SD) method. However, the proposed approach has better computational time which is six times faster than the 3SD method. These results demonstrate a remarkable effort to produce a simple but straightforward digital image processing approach to be implemented in cloud computing for future studies.
