Title
A dual stage adaptive thresholding (DuSAT) for automatic mass detection in mammograms.
Abstract
•Pre-processing using thresholding and region growing methods.•An optimal adaptive global threshold selection by maximizing between-class standard deviation through histogram peak analysis to obtain a coarse segmentation.•A window based adaptive local thresholding to obtain the fine segmentation of mass.•Proposed approach yields most satisfactory results to ground-truth segments.•The comparison is carried out in terms of TPF and FP/I to show the effectiveness.
