Among various cancers, breast cancer in women occurs in larger accounts for almost 30% of estimated cancer cases. In this research, many steps are followed for breast cancer detection like pre-processing, segmentation, augmentation, extraction of features, and cancer detection. Here, the median filter is utilized for pre-processing, as well as segmentation is followed after pre-processing, which is done by Psi-Net. Moreover, the process of augmentation like shearing, translation, and cropping are followed after segmentation. Also, the segmented image tends to process feature extraction, where features like shape features, Completed Local Binary Pattern (CLBP), Pyramid Histogram of Oriented Gradients (PHOG), and statistical features are extracted.
