Abstract :
In the setting of the automatic analysis of mammographic images, the detection of opacities of the breast is a well-known complex problem whose feasibility remains to be proven again. We present in This work a technique of filtering in order to detect the microcalcifications in clinical mammograms while achieving a more effective algorithm.
