Popis: Breast thermography images are a new type of data that has been analyzed in recent years in order to detect abnormalities, which can lead to a future breast cancer. This paper proposes a methodology for breast thermal image classification, which is useful in Computer-Aided Detection Systems. The main contribution is an automatic method to segment the region of interest (ROI) based on local operations, local analysis, interpolation and statistical operators. For our experiments, we used an image database that is widely used in this research area, obtaining accuracy results between 90.17% and 98.33%, which are competitive with respect to related works.
