Computer Aided Detection of Liver Tumor using SVM Classifier

Abstract

In this paper, we present a new and accurate method for liver tumor segmentation from computed tomography (CT) scans. Initially, the liver CT image is pre-processed, i.e., noise removal and contrast of the image is enhanced. We then employ a support vector machine (SVM) classifier, which is trained using the user fed image sets, to classify the tumor region from liver image. Sequentially, morphological operations and feature extractions are performed over the segmented binary image to further refine the rough segmentation result of SVM classification. The experiment results prove that the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed algorithm to be higher than conventional methods.
