Abstract

This study aims to assess the breast lesions classification in thermographic images using different configuration of an Extreme Learning Machine network as classifier. In this approach, the authors changed the number of neurons in the hidden layer and the type of kernel function to further explore the network in order to find a better solution for the classification problem. Authors also used different tools to perform features extraction to assess both texture and geometry information from the breast lesions. During the study, the authors found that the results changed not only due to the network parameters but also due to the features chosen to represent the thermographic images. A maximum accuracy of 95% was found for the differentiation of breast lesions.
