Abstract

Lung cancer is one of the diseases which has a high mortality. If the condition is detected earlier, then it is easier to reduce the mortality rate. This lung cancer has caused more deaths in the world than any other cancer. The main objective is to predict lung cancer using a machine learning algorithm. Several computer-aided systems have been designed to reduce the mortality rate due to lung cancer. Machine learning is a promising tool to predict lung cancer in its early phase or stage, where the features of images are trained using a classification model. Generally, machine learning is used to have a good prediction, but in some models, due to lack of efficient feature extraction value, the training has not been done more effectively; hence the predictions are poor. In order to overcome this limitation, the proposed covariant texture model utilizing the steerable Riesz wavelets feature extraction technique to increase the effectiveness of training via the Random Forest algorithm. In this proposed model, the RF algorithm is employed to predict whether the nodule in the image is benign or malignant ii) to find the level of severity (1 to 5), if it is a malignant nodule. Our experiment result can be used as a tool to support the diagnosis and to analyze at an earlier stage of cancer to cure it.
