TLDR
In this paper, a tumor detection algorithm from mammogram is presented, where the mammogram enhancement procedure includes filtering, top hat operation, DWT, and contrast stretching is used to increase the contrast of the image.
Abstract
This paper presents a tumor detection algorithm from mammogram. The proposed system focuses on the solution of two problems. One is how to detect tumors as suspicious regions with a very weak contrast to their background and another is how to extract features which categorize tumors. The tumor detection method follows the scheme of (a) mammogram enhancement. (b) The segmentation of the tumor area. (c) The extraction of features from the segmented tumor area. (d) The use of SVM classifier. The enhancement can be defined as conversion of the image quality to a better and more understandable level. The mammogram enhancement procedure includes filtering, top hat operation, DWT. Then the contrast stretching is used to increase the contrast of the image. The segmentation of mammogram images has been playing an important role to improve the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. The most common segmentation method used is thresholding. The features are extracted from the segmented breast area. Next stage include, which classifies the regions using the SVM classifier. The method was tested on 75 mammographic images, from the mini-MIAS database. The methodology achieved a sensitivity of 88.75%.

The connection between regularization operators and support vector kernels

TL;DR: It is proved that the Green's Functions associated with regularization operators are suitable support vector kernels with equivalent regularization properties and it is shown that a large number of radial basis functions, namely conditionally positive definite functions, may be used as support vector kernel.
