Hidden Markov Tree Model Applied to the Detection of Micro-calcification Clusters in Mammograms
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is concerned to the application of a relatively new image texture segmentation algorithm named Hidden Markov Tree (HMT) to the detection of micro-calcification clusters in mammograms. The HMT is a wavelet-based tree-structured probabilistic graph that can capture the statistical properties of the coefficients of the wavelet transform. The aim of this approach is, on the one hand, to take advantage of the wavelet coefficients in the characterization of different textures, and on the other hand, to link these coefficients by a tree structure enabling texture change to be detected. The application of the method was evaluated using the Digital Database for Screening Mammography (DDSM) for training purposes and a sample of the Nijmegen database for testing purposes.

Contrast 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...

The air transport industry is seeking to manage risks in air travels. Its main objective is to detect abnormal behaviors in various flight conditions. The current methods have some limitations and are based on studying the risks and measuring the effective parameters. These parameters do not remove the dependency of a flight process on the time and human decisions. In this paper, we used an HMM...

متن کاملEvaluation of the Hidden Markov Model for Detection of P300 in EEG Signals
Introduction: Evoked potentials arisen by stimulating the brain can be utilized as a communication tool between humans and machines. Most brain-computer interface (BCI) systems use the P300 component, which is an evoked potential. In this paper, we evaluate the use of the hidden Markov model (HMM) for detection of P300. Materials and Methods: The wavelet transforms, wavelet-enhanced indepen...
