Abstract

Lung cancer is a curable disease if detected early, and its mortality rate decreases with forwarding treatment measures. At first, an easy and accurate way to detect is by using image processing techniques on the cancer-affected images captured from the patients. This paper proposes a novel lung cancer detection method. Firstly, an adaptive median filter algorithm (AMF) is applied to preprocess those images for improving the quality of the affected area. Then, a supervised image edge detection algorithm (SIED) is presented to segment those images. Then, feature extraction is employed to extract the mean, standard deviation, energy, contrast, etc., of the cancer-affected area. Finally, an unsupervised diffusion classification (UDC) algorithm is explored to narrow down the affected areas. The proposed lung cancer detection method is implemented on two datasets obtained from standard hospital real-time values. The experiment results achieved superior performance in the detection of lung cancer, which demonstrates that our new model can contribute to the early detection of lung cancer.
