ABSTRACT
Mammography is the most effective method for early detection of breast diseases. However, the typical diagnostic signs, such as masses and microcalcifications, are difficult to be detected because mammograms are low contrast and noisy images. We concentrate on a special case of super resolution reconstruction for early detection of cancer from low resolution mammogram images. Super resolution reconstruction is the process of combining several low resolution images into a single higher resolution image. This paper describes a novel approach for enhancing the resolution of mammographic images. We are proposing an efficient lifting wavelet based denoising with adaptive interpolation for super resolution reconstruction. Under this frame work, the digitized low resolution mammographic images are decomposed into many levels to obtain different frequency bands. We use Daubechies (D4) lifting schemes to decompose low resolution mammogram images into multilevel scale and wavelet coefficients. Then our proposed novel soft thresholding technique is used to remove the noisy coefficients, by fixing optimum threshold value. In order to obtain an image of higher resolution adaptive interpolation is applied. Our proposed lifting wavelet transform based restoration and adaptive interpolation preserves the edges as well as smoothens the image without introducing artifacts. The proposed algorithm avoids the application of iterative method, reduces the complexity of calculation and applies to large dimension low-resolution images. Experimental results show that the proposed approach has succeeded in obtaining a high-resolution mammogram image with a high PSNR, ISNR ratio and a good visual quality.
