Description
Summary:This paper focuses on breast self-examination (BSE) stroke position and palpation level classification for the development of a computer vision-based BSE training and guidance system. In this study, image frames are extracted from a BSE video and processed considering the color information, shape, and texture by wavelet transform and first order color moment. The new approach using artificial neural network and wavelet transform can identify BSE stroke positions and palpation levels, i.e. light, medium, and deep, at 97.8 % and 87.5 % accuracy respectively. © 2012 IEEE.
