Description
Summary:Image features extraction is an important step in image processing techniques. The features of digital images can be extracted directly from the spatial data or from a different space. Using a different space by special data transforms such wavelet can be helpful to extract specific characteristics from a data. Wavelets prove an efficient representation of image. It decomposes an image into subbands, approximation, horizontal, vertical and diagonal. This paper presents an attempt to find which subband that could be better to used for mammogram classification to detect and diagnose the breast cancer.
