Abstract :
Thermography (infrared imaging) is a non-invasive technique applied for the detection breast cancer. We consider the problem of automatically recognition malignant breast from frontal view thermography image presented as gray scale image. This framework provides insights into several issues: breast ROI´s detection, extraction statistical features, extraction features based on texture and co-occurrence matrix.
