Pulomonary Nodule Classification From CT Scan Images Using Machine Learning Method
The research work is to enhance the classification accuracy of the pulmonary nodules with the limited number of features extracted using Gray level co-occurrence matrix and linear binary pattern. The classification is done using the machine learning algorithm such as artificial neural network (ANN) and the random forest classifier (RF). In present, lung cancer seems to be the most deadly disease in the world which can be detected only after the computerized tomography (i.e., CT scan images of the person). Detecting the infected portion at the early period is the challenging task. Hence, the recent researchers where under the detection of pulmonary nodules to categorize it either as benign nodules which named as non-cancerous or as malignant nodules which are named as cancerous. When associated the results with the recent papers, the accuracy has been improved in classifying the lung nodules.
