We investigate the performance of six different approaches for directional feature extraction for mass classification problem in digital mammograms. These techniques use a bank of Gabor filters to extract the directional textural features. Directional textural features represent structural properties of masses and normal tissues in mammograms at different orientations and frequencies. Masses and micro-calcifications are two early signs of breast cancer which is a major leading cause of death in women. For the detection of masses, segmentation of mammograms results in regions of interest (ROIs) which not only include masses but suspicious normal tissues as well (which lead to false positives during the discrimination process). The problem is to reduce the false positives by classifying ROIs as masses and normal tissues. In addition, the detected masses are required to be further classified as malignant and benign. The feature extraction approaches are evaluated over the ROIs extracted from MIAS database. Successive Enhancement Learning based weighted Support Vector Machine (SELwSVM) is used to efficiently classify the generated unbalanced datasets. The average accuracy ranges from 68 to 100 % as obtained by different methods used in our paper. Comparisons are carried out based on statistical analysis to make further recommendations.
