Abstract: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a group of mechanical abnormalities occurring in the joints like knee, finger and hip regions. Knee region contains complex objects, detecting the presence of particular structures in such images can be a daunting task. OA in knee image can be identified by segmenting the bone and cartilage. Manual and some semiautomatic segmentation methods are time consuming and complex. A method is described here for classification of OA which deals with segmentation of cartilage region from femur and tibia bone. The images are preprocessed using contrast enhancement technique and contrast limited adaptive histogram equalisation (CLAHE) and further processed using matched and Gabor filter for clear recognition of cartilage. The noises present are further eliminated using median filter. Using grey level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), features are extracted. Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) classifier is used for classification of OA. The datasets are obtained from osteoarthritis initiative (OAI) database and Ganga Hospital, Coimbatore.
