Analysis of tissue abnormality and breast density in mammographic images using a uniform local directional pattern

作者：

Highlights：

• We propose a simple and robust local descriptor of breast tissues in mammograms called ULDP.

• ULDP is evaluated in the task of mass/normal breast tissue classification.

• ULDP is evaluated in the task of breast tissue density classification.

• The results are comparable to the state-of-the-art methods on two databases.
