ABNORMALITY DETECTION IN ENDOSCOPIC IMAGES OF THROAT CANCER BY MORPHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS

Deepti Shikha and B.V. Dhandra

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

Mathematical morphology provides a number of important images processing operations and become the foundation of biomedical computing. The data extracted from images continues to be a fundamental technique for achieving scientific progress in experimental, clinical, biomedical, and behavioural research. Image segmentation is an important component of image analysis, which partitions the whole image under study into various disjoint regions based on potential features such as gray value, color, texture, etc. An algorithm was developed to perform the segmentation, classification and analysis of medical images, especially the endoscopic images for the identification of commonly occurring throat cancer abnormalities. It was observed that the proposed segmentation generates larger number of regions in the abnormal images as compared to normal. Further, it was seen that a large number of segmented regions generated in normal images due to the presence of noise such as lumen regions, bright spots generated by the reflection of light sources, etc.
