Abstract
The purpose of this study is to apply different thresholding techniques in mammogram images. We will determine which technique is the best in thresholding (extraction) malignant and benign tumors from the rest breast tissues. The used technique is Otsu method, because it is one of the most effective methods for most real world views with regard to uniformity and shape measures.
