Abstract: The article proposes an image processing-based automatic methodology for early diagnosis of colorectal cancer. In pathology, staining and sectioning of tissues are routinely used as a primary technique to detect cancer. In this methodology, the colorectal gland tissues are segmented by using adaptive threshold method. Also, it includes an analysis of geometrical features of colorectal tissues as well as it does classification of cancerous cells which classify the cancerous and non-cancerous cell efficiently. The classification is based on discriminatory geometrical features which gives good result. Unlike existing methods, it quantifies lumen and epithelial cells only in the ROI, which makes this method computationally efficient. Automatic supervised classification is accomplished on the extracted discriminatory features using support vector machine classifier. The proposed methodology segments and classifies the cancerous / non-cancerous region with an accuracy of 93.74%. The proposed method is also computationally fast which makes it suitable for real time applications.
