Presents a comprehensive discussion on the segmentation of mammograms using morphological texture features. These features are derived from morphological granulometries with various structuring elements. Each structuring element captures a specific texture content. The segmentation is carried out in an unsupervised manner by applying the KL (Karhunen-Loeve) transform feature reduction and Voronoi clustering on the extracted morphological texture features. The evaluation of the segmentation outcome by a trained radiologist is provided.
