A Novel Algorithm for Breast Mass Classification in Digital Mammography Based on Feature Fusion

Algorithm 1

Mammography mass benign-malignant classification algorithm.
(1)Input: mammography mass image
(2)Output: diagnosis results matrix
(3)Calculate the deep feature matrix
(4)Get textons by convoluting MR8 filter bank with the
(5)Calculate the textons-based feature matrix through LBP
(6)if use the direct fusion approach then
(7) Fusion feature ,
(8) Train softmax classifier with and predict
(9)Return
(10)end if
(11)if use the fusion after reduction approach then
(12) Calculate the subset of by random forest
(13) Calculate the subset of by random forest
(14) Fusion feature ,
(15) Train SVM classifier with and predict
(16)Return
(17)end if
