Digital Image Processing Project

Digital image processing project for implementing Enhancements of mircocalcifications in digital mammograms using MATLAB

Call the function defined in dip.m on any microcalcification image. It'll return the binary image showing microcalcifications

It uses to techniques to filter mammograms:

• Wavelet decomposition upto level-3.
• Morphological closing operation after wavelet decomposition to unify microcalcification patches.

Assumptions:

• On a 128x128 patch, microcalcifiactions are 5x5 or larger.

Sample run

The image has been taken from MINI-MIAS database
