Tumor Discovery                                                  An approach for classification of lung nodules



                                                                 In this work, we  proposed efficient method for
                                                               segmentation and classification of lung nodules.
                                                               3. Geometric features

                                                               Geometric features are considered the first set of features.
                                                               The vital structural information of tumor can be easily
                                                               analyzed with the 2D and 3D geometric features. The
                                                               evaluation of the geometric features is very useful in
                                                               quantifying and analyzing the biomedical images like CT
                                                               scans (2D, 3D) .
                                                                           [45]
                                                                 Image object is formed by the numerous pixels and is
                                                               rescaled using unit information. The one unit is the area of
                                                               the single pixel, which denotes that the number of pixels
                                                               forming the image is the area of the image. If we have the
                                                               unit information of the image data provided, then the
                                                               area of the whole image is equal to the product of the area
                                                               covered by one pixel and the number of pixels unit in the

                                                               to separate the left lung and right lung region. The final
                                                               step is the smoothening on the boundary of lung along
