Abstract

A hybrid detection model may be used for breast cancer detection. A system can identify a region of interest on a received mammogram. The region of interest may have a particular level of grey at each pixel of the image. A morphological and entropy filter may then each be applied to the region of interest. Based on the filters, the system may generate a hybrid result that is the average of a combination of the two filters. The system may then segment the region of interest using a selected clustering algorithm.
