Comparative studies of segmentation techniques for breast cancer dectection
In this project, a program has been written in Microsoft Visual C++ to investigate the possibility of using image processing techniques to aid the early detection of breast cancer. Firstly, methods of pre-processing the image are looked at. This is to make the images suitable for the next phase of b...
