Classification of Breast Mammograms into Benign and Malignant

In this paper, we have proposed a method that consists of combination of different methods. First we have performed enhancement on breast mammogram to enhance the image quality. After that discrete cosine transform has been applied for features extraction. Bayesian Classifier has been used for classification into benign and malignant. It has been noted that results are very much satisfactory. We have used MIAS data set for experimentation purpose. Proposed method performs good when we have tested on different images.
