Abstract: Fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) is a generalized form of the traditional Fourier transform, which includes information of both the time domain and the frequency domain. FrFT is used to extract phasebased features of breast tumor from ultrasound images. These features are used as input to the AdaBoost algorithm to distinguish benign tumors from malignant tumors. Experimental results indicate that the texture features extracted with the proposed FrFTbased algorithm can well classify breast tumor, and can be used in computeraided breast diagnosis.
