Detection of the nipple in mammograms with Gabor filters and the Radon transform
The paper proposes a method for the detection of nipple in mammograms based on the converging characteristics of oriented patterns of the breast tissues towards the nipple. The method uses Gabor filters and Radon transform for the extraction of oriented patterns and linear structures representing breast tissues. The proposed method shows better performance over two of the existing techniques.
