Feature extraction in digital mammography using LabVIEW
Mihaela Ruxandra Lascu, Dan Lascu · 2005
This paper presents some characteristics of mammography images since these will motivate the algorithms for micro calcification detection implemented in LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench). LabVIEW is a graphical programming language that uses icons instead of lines of text to create programs. We are interested in compression and noise removal of mammography images because these realize a preprocessor for the identification of micro calcification clusters in mammograms. We propose a general strategy for constructing algorithms and implementing them in LabVIEW for extracting micro calcification clusters. A non-linear method is implemented in LabVIEW for performing image enhancement.
