This project constructs and assesses an image processing approach for lung cancer diagnosis in this study. Image processing techniques are frequently utilized for picture improvement in the detection phase to enable early medical therapy in a variety of medical issues. We suggested a lung cancer detection approach based on picture segmentation in this study. Image segmentation is a level of image processing that is intermediate. To segment a CT scan image, a marker control watershed and region growth technique is applied. Following the detection phases, picture augmentation with the Gabor filter, image segmentation, and feature extraction is performed. We discovered the efficiency of our strategy based on the experimental results. The results demonstrate that the watershed with the masking method, which has great accuracy and robustness, is the best strategy for detecting major features.

Lung Cancer Detection

Lung cancer is a disease that causes the cells present in the lungs which divide uncontrollably. This uncontrollable division of cells causes tumours which in turn decrease a person’s respiration. Early identification and diagnosis will help people to seek treatment and recover soon. Tumours are an abnormal mass of tissue that results when cells divide more than they should or do not die when they should. Identifying lung cancer in its early stages is very difficult but knowing about its symptoms is quite easy. Symptoms may be similar to those of respiratory problems or infections and sometimes there may be no symptoms at all. In this work mainly deals with the lung cancer detection using image processing techniques were involving all the intermediate stages such as preprocessing stage, noise removal, processing stage, postprocessing stage which finally gives output image after all those stages. Doctors can categorize tumour stage as initial or advanced based on patient CT scan report. The abnormal images are subjected to segmentation (threshold segmentation, watershed transformation) to focus on tumour portion. It mainly deals with image quality and clarity. Gabor filter algorithm plays a vital role for image enhancement in removing noise from an image. The ANN method gives us the best performance as it neglects the background and displays the required portion of an image that we need. This image processing technique is one of the most efficient way of detecting lung cancer.

This paper represents detection of lung cancer using image processing which is followed by image enhancement using three filters. These filters are Gabor, madian and mean filters. Then, image segmentation is applied using a technique called marker controlled watershed with masking that has advantages over other methods in terms of reducing the time needed for detection. On that ground, this method rejoiced with better quality. Finally, an important stage is made to decide whether the lung is infected with cancer or not this stage is called feature extraction .therefore, results were reached with less human efforts.

Abstract: Lung cancer has been a major contribution to mortality rates world-wide for many years now. There is a need for early diagnosis of lung cancer which if implemented, will help in reducing mortality rates. Recently, image processing techniques have been widely applied in various medical facilities for accurate detection and diagnosis of abnormality in the body images like in various cancers such as brain tumour, breast tumour and lung tumour. This paper is a development of an algorithm based on medical image processing to segment the lung tumour in CT images due to the lack of such algorithms and approaches used to detect tumours. The work involves the application of different image processing tools in order to arrive at the desired result when combined and successively applied. The segmentation system comprises different steps along the process. First, Image preprocessing is done where some enhancement is done to enhance and reduce noise in images. In the next step, the different parts in the images are separated to be able to segment the tumour. In this phase threshold value was selected automatically. Then morphological operation (Area opening) is implemented on the thresholded image. Finally, the lung tumour is accurately segmented by subtracting the opened image from the thresholded image. Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used to classify the lung tumour into 4 different types: Adenocarcinoma(AC), Large Cell Carcinoma(LCC) Squamous Cell Carcinoma(SCC), and No tumour (NT).

The mortality rate is increasing among the growing population and one of the leading causes is lung cancer. Early diagnosis is required to decrease the number of deaths and increase the survival rate of lung cancer patients. With the advancements in the medical field and its technologies CAD system has played a significant role to detect the early symptoms in the patients which cannot be carried out manually without any error in it. CAD is detection system which has combined the machine learning algorithms with image processing using computer vision. In this research a novel approach to CAD system is presented to detect lung cancer using image processing techniques and classifying the detected nodules by CNN approach. The proposed method has taken CT scan image as input image and different image processing techniques such as histogram equalization, segmentation, morphological operations and feature extraction have been performed on it. A CNN based classifier is trained to classify the nodules as cancerous or non-cancerous. The performance of the system is evaluated in the terms of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy

The Lung Cancer is a most common cancer which causes of death to people. Early detection of this cancer will increase the survival rate. Usually, cancer detection is done manually by radiologists that had resulted in high rate of False Positive (FP) and False Negative (FN) test results. Currently Computed Tomography (CT) scan is used to scan the lung, which is much efficient than X-ray. In this proposed system a Computer Aided Detection (CADe) system for detecting lung cancer is used. This proposed system uses various image processing techniques to detect the lung cancer and also to classify the stages of lung cancer. Thus the rates of human errors are reduced in this system. As the result, the rate of obtaining False positive and (FP) False Negative (FN) has reduced. In this system, MATLAB have been used to process the image. Region growing algorithm is used to segment the ROI (Region of Interest). The SVM (Support Vector Machine) classifier is used to detect lung cancer and to identify the stages of lung cancer for the segmented ROI region. This proposed system produced 98.5 % accuracy when compared to other existing system

Over Time

Image segmentation and registration are closely related image processing techniques and often required as simultaneous tasks. In this work, we introduce an optimization-based approach to a joint registration and segmentation model for multimodal images deformation. The model combines an active contour variational term with mutual information (MI) smoothing fitting term and solves in this way the difficulties of simultaneously performed segmentation and registration models for multimodal images. This combination takes into account the image structure boundaries and the movement of the objects, leading in this way to a robust dynamic scheme that links the object boundaries information that changes over time. Comparison of our model with state of art shows that our method leads to more consistent registrations and accurate results.
