This paper presents a combination of wavelet with echo state neural network in identifying the microcalcification (MC) in a mammogram image. Mammogram image is decomposed using Daubauchi wavelet to 5 levels. Statistical features are extracted from the wavelet coefficients. Training of the ESNN/BPA is done using the features as inputs to the network along with a labeling of presence or non-presence of MC. The classification performance of ESNN is compared with back propagation algorithm.

This paper presents a combination of wavelet with echo state neural network in identifying the microcalcification (MC) in a mammogram image. Mammogram image is decomposed using Daubauchi wavelet to 5 levels. Statistical features are extracted from the wavelet coefficients. Training of the ESNN/BPA is done using the features as inputs to the network along with a labeling of presence or non-presence of MC. The classification performance of ESNN is compared with back propagation algorithm.
