Every year, cervical cancer is a leading cause of mortality in women all over the world. This cancer can be cured if it is detected early and patients are treated promptly. This study proposes a new strategy for the detection of cervical cancer using cervigram pictures. The associated histogram equalization (AHE) technique is used to improve the edges of the cervical image, and then the finite ridgelet transform is used to generate a multi-resolution picture. Then, from this converted multi-resolution cervical picture, features such as ridgelets, gray-level run-length matrices, moment invariant, and enhanced local ternary pattern are retrieved. A feed-forward backward propagation neural network is used to train and test these extracted features in order to classify the cervical images as normal or abnormal. To detect and segment cancer regions, morphological procedures are applied to the abnormal cervical images. The cervical cancer detection system’s performance metrics include 98.11% sensitivity, 98.97% specificity, 99.19% accuracy, a PPV of 98.88%, an NPV of 91.91%, an LPR of 141.02%, an LNR of 0.0836, 98.13% precision, 97.15% FPs, and 90.89% FNs. The simulation outcomes show that the proposed method is better at detecting and segmenting cervical cancer than the traditional methods.
