Abstract: In this paper, an efficient automated microcalcification classification system for breast cancer in mammograms using Non Subsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT), Single Value Decomposition (SVD), Jacobi Moments and Support Vector Machine (SVM) is presented. The image is enhanced by using the preprocessing technique Non Subsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT). The classification of microcalcification is achieved by extracting the features by using SVD and Jacobi moments and the outcomes are used as an input to the SVM classifier for classification.
