Tumour detection, Otsu thresholding, watershed segmentation.Abstract
Vocal disorders are mostly due to the abnormal action of vocal cards in phonation process .this abnormal actions of vocal cards are caused by malign or benign tumor and should result in different values other than predetermined values. The vocal disorder person’s voice is different for different vocal diseases. In this paper we have chosen laryngeal cancer, and we have developed a tool called Otsu’s thresholding to detect the voice which is affected by the laryngeal cancer. Otsu thresholding facilitates better detection of affected area whether it is healthy or not compared with narrow band imaging technology. The MATLAB/simulation is to implement the Otsu thresholding
