A matrix is constructed by putting Wavelet coefficients of each image of a building set as a row vector. The method consists then on selecting by threshold, the columns which will maximize the Euclidian distances between the different class representatives. The selected columns are then used as features for classification. The method is tested using a set of images provided by the Mammographic Image Analysis Society (MIAS) to classify between normal and abnormal and then between benign and malignant tissues. For both classifications, a high accuracy rate (98) is achieved. © 2009 IEEE. date: 2009 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-77950838117&doi=10.1109%2fICCEE.2009.39&partnerID=40&md5=de061181f824b607c4d371ee40404f9e id_number: 10.1109/ICCEE.2009.39 full_text_status: none publication: 2009 International Conference on Computer and Electrical Engineering, ICCEE 2009 volume: 2 place_of_pub: Dubai pagerange: 318-322 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9780769539256 citation: Faye, I. and Samir, B.B. and Eltoukhy, M.M.M.
