• Abstract: This paper presents and validates a novel lung nodule classification algorithm that uses multifractal features found in X-ray images. The proposed method includes a pre-processing step where two enhancement techniques are applied: histogram equalization and a combination of wavelet decomposition and morphological operations. As a novelty, multifractal features using wavelet leader based formalism are used with Support Vector Machine classifier; other classical texture features were also included. Best results were obtained when using multifractal features in combination with classical texture features, with a maximum ROC AUC of 75\%. The results show improvements when using data augmentation technique, and parameter optimization. The proposed method proved to be more efficient and accurate than Modulus Maxima Wavelet Formalism in both computational cost and accuracy when compared in a similar experimental set up.

  X-ray prohibited item detection faces challenges due to the long-tail distribution and unique characteristics of X-ray imaging. Traditional data augmentation strategies, such as copy-paste and mixup, are ineffective at improving the detection of rare items. We propose the X-ray Imaging-driven Detection Network (XIDNet) to address these challenges.
