An Expert Image Processing System on Template Matching

Summary An expert image processing system on template matching is proposed to locate and determine the symmetrical value between breast mammogram. A new template matching algorithm using cross-correlation method is implemented in this work. Cross-correlation algorithm operates well on two-dimensional images and gives the best result for the matching process. We have developed a template matching algorithms for detecting similarity in grayscale mammograms recently. After employing the method, the detection of matching percentage becomes more reliable; more than 80% of matching percentage. Such result indicates that the new technique has improved the performance of our computer aided diagnosis system for mammographic breast cancer detection effectively.
