Lung Cancer Detection by Using Image Processing

This document discusses lung cancer detection using a thresholding approach for image processing. It begins with an introduction to lung cancer and image acquisition. It then describes the steps of image pre-processing including noise removal and enhancement. Next it discusses image segmentation, feature extraction using binarization and masking approaches, and the thresholding approach to convert grayscale images to binary by comparing pixel values to a threshold. It concludes that timely lung cancer detection is important and machine methods like thresholding can predict faster and more accurately than humans, though other techniques may have greater accuracy.

IMAGE PROCESSING
• perform some operations
• extract some useful information or feature.
• Types of image formats
 greyscale
 black and white
 colored
Image processing  focus on
•  improvement of pictorial representation for human
interpretation
•  Processing of image data for storage, transmission
representation etc.
process level in image processing
INTRODUCTION
• Lung cancer is increasing the tumor cells rapidly.
• Cancer cells can be carried away from the lungs in blood, or
lymph fluid that surrounds lung tissue.
• the cancer which was starting in the lung is called lung
cancer.
• Time is the curious factor.

Image
Segmentation

Feature Extraction

Decision
Image Acquisition
 Collection of images
 CT (computed tomography)
 Normal camera-disadvantages
Pre-Processing
 remove the extra noise
 technique to do image preprocessing
 Noise Removal
 Image Enhancement
 Image cropping
 Image smoothening
Image Segmentation
• partitioning of the image
• group of pixels is called supper pixel
• High accuracy
• Pixel- color, texture
Feature Extraction
 the two-feature extraction detect the lung cancer they are
» Binarization Approach
» Masking Approach
Thresholding Approach
• differentiating the foreground image from the back ground image.
• to fix the thresholding T in order to convert the gray scale image
into binary image.
• The black intensity will give the exact position of the foreground
image
 pixel value zero-black
 pixel value one-white
 hiding background compare each pixel with the image
 pixel value is less than t make it as zero
CONCLUSION
• Lung cancer is the risky disease
• Time management is important
• Machine will predict more faster accurate than the
human
• Marker Controlled Watershed Segmentation technique
has greater accuracy (85.27%) and satisfactory than
Thresholding method (81.24%).
