Abstract: The paper presents approaches for nodule detection and extraction in axial lung computed tomography. The goal is to detect correctly pulmonary nodule to recognize and screen lung cancer patients. The pulmonary nodule detection is very challenging problem. The proposed model developed a hybrid efficient model based on affine-invariant representation and shape of segmented nodule. Due to large number of extracted features for all slices on patient, feature selection is an important step to select the most important feature for classification. We apply forward stepwise least squares regression that maximizes the Rsquared value, this criterion provides a fast preprocessing feature selection assessment for systems with huge volumes of features based on a linear models framework. Moreover, gradient boosting have been suggested to select the relevant features based on boosting approach. Classification of patients has been done by support vector machine. Kaggle DSB dataset is used to test the accuracy of our model. The results show major improvement in accuracy and the features are reduced.

Keywords: Lung cancer; computed tomography; affine invariant moments; pulmonary nodules; R2; feature selection; support vector machine
