<![CDATA[Breast cancer is one of the main causes of death in women and ranks first in cancer cases in Indonesia. Therefore, an early detection and prevention of breast cancer is necessary, one of which is through mammography procedures. A machine learning classifier such as Support Vector Machines (SVM) could be used as an aid to the doctors and radiologist in diagnosing breast cancer from the mammogram images. The aim of this paper is to compare two feature extraction methods used in SVM, namely the Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and first order with two kernels for each method, namely Gaussian and Polynomial. Classification using SVM method is carried out by testing several parameters such as the value of C, gamma, degree and varying the pixel spacing values in GLCM, which usually in previous studies only used the default pixel spacing. The dataset consists of 500 mammogram images containing 250 benign and malignant images, respectively. This study is expected to find out the best method with the highest accuracy between these two texture feature extractions and and able to distinguish between benign and malignant classes correctly. The result achieved that Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM) feature extraction method with both Gaussian and Polynomial kernel yields the best performance with an accuracy of 89%.]]>
