Detection of non-parametric Lines by Evidence Accumulation: Finding blood Vessels in Mammograms
نویسنده
چکیده
The evidence accumulation method for finding objects having shape which can be neither parameterized nor tabularized is proposed. The result is a multi-scale measure of existence of the detected object, in the accumulator congruent with the image domain, supplemented with local information on additional features of the object. The method is implemented for finding blood vessels in mammographic images, visible as bright lines. In this case, information from pairs of pixels is used for accumulation. The accumulation is fuzzy in several ways.

Specification of the Evidence Accumulation-Based Line Detection Algorithm
The recently proposed algorithm, using the evidence accumulation principle, for finding lines (ridges) having shape which can be neither parameterized nor tabularized is described in detail. This fuzzy, multi-scale algorithm stores the evidence in the accumulator congruent with the image domain. The primary application was finding blood vessels in mammograms. REPRINT. In: Computer Recognition S...
متن کاملScale and Rotation Invariance of the Evidence Accumulation-Based Line Detection Algorithm
The scale and rotation invariance properties of a recently proposed algorithm, using the fuzzy evidence accumulation principle, for finding lines (ridges) of non-parametric shapes is analysed. The proposed modifications consist in scaling the accumulated value with the inverse of the line width and further fuzzifying the accumulation process – along the line width. Good invariance properties re...
متن کاملContrast Enhancement of Mammograms for Rapid Detection of Microcalcification Clusters
Introduction Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among women. Early detection of breast cancer is the key to reducing the associated mortality rate. The presence of microcalcifications clusters (MCCs) is one of the earliest signs of breast cancer. Due to poor imaging contrast of mammograms and noise contamination, radiologists may overlook some diagnostic signs, specially t...
متن کاملDetection of Blood Vessels in Color Fundus Images using a Local Radon Transform
Introduction: This paper addresses a method for automatic detection of blood vessels in color fundus images which utilizes two main tools: image partitioning and local Radon transform. Material and Methods: The input images are firstly divided into overlapping windows and then the Radon transform is applied to each. The maximum of the Radon transform in each window corresponds to the probable a...
متن کاملModeling Breast Acini in Tissue Culture for Detection of Malignant Phenotype Reversion to Non-Malignant Phenotype
Backgrounds: Evidence is accumulating to support disruption of tissue architecture as a powerful event in tumor formation. For the past four decades, intensive cancer research with the premise of “cancer as a cell based-disease” focused on finding oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. However, the role of the tissue architecture was neglected. Three dimensional (3D) cell cultures which can recap...
