Transforming data from the image to the text domain: benign versus malignant micro-calcification classification
Zobia Suhail, Reyer Zwiggelaar · VAWKUM Transactions on Computer Sciences · 2023
In this paper we present a new approach for the classification of benign and malignant micro-calcification clusters by transforming data from the image to the text domain. A string representation is extracted from binary micro-calcification segmentation images. We extracted two different features from the strings and combined different machine learning techniques towards benign versus malignant classification. We evaluated our proposed method on the DDSM database and experimental results indicates a Classification Accuracy equal to 92%.
