Mammogram image segmentation using granular computing based on rough entropy

Abstract

The mammography is the most effective procedure for to diagnosis the breast cancer at an early stage. A granule is a mass of objects, in the universe of discourse, put together by indistinguishability, similarity, proximity, or functionality. In mammograms, it is quite difficult to identify the suspicious region which is a mass of calcification on the breast tissue. This paper proposes rough entropy based granular computing to segment mammogram images. The proposed method is evaluated by classification algorithms which are available in WEKA.
