Improvement of Sample Selection: A Cascade-Based Approach for Lesion Automatic Detection

Abstract

Computer-Aided Detection (CADe) system has a significant role as a preventative effort in the early detection of breast cancer. There are some phases in developing the pattern recognition on the CADe system, including the availability of a large number of data, feature extraction, selection and use of features, and the selection of the appropriate classification method. Haar cascade classifier has been successfully developed to detect the faces in the multimedia image automatically and quickly. The success of the face detection system must not be separated from the availability of the training data in the large numbers. However, it is not easy to implement on a medical image because of some reasons, including its low quality, the very little gray-value differences, and the limited number of the patches for the examples of the positive data. Therefore, this research proposes an algorithm to overcome the limitation of the number of patches on the region of interest to detect whether the lesion exists or not on the mammogram images based on the Haar cascade classifier. This research uses the mammogram and ultrasonography images from the breast imaging of 60 probands and patients in the Clinic of Oncology, Yogyakarta. The testing of the CADe system is done by comparing the reading result of that system with the mammography reading result validated with the reading of the ultrasonography image by the Radiologist. The testing result of the k-fold cross validation demonstrates that the use of the algorithm for the multiplication of intersection rectangle may improve the system performance with accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 76%, 89%, and 63%, respectively.
