Algorithm 2
Pectoral muscle removal algorithm.
Step 1. Start with the first row; | Step 2. Scan from left to right side; | Step 3. While pixel value is less than the threshold value go to the | next pixel; | Step 4. If the pixel belongs to the first tenth part of the | mammogram then the pixel value is greater than or equal to | the threshold value set the current pixel value to black and | go to the next pixel and repeat Step , otherwise go to Step | ; | If the pixel does not belong to the first tenth part of the | mammogram anymore go to Step ; | Step 5. If the pixel value is greater than or equal to the threshold | value and the above pixel is black then set the current pixel | value to black and go to the next pixel and repeat Step , | otherwise go to Step ; | Step 6. Repeat Steps to for the next row. |
