I.Introduction:
Presently,number of people suffering kidney stones are increasing alarmingly.Kidney stones are identified
in the upper unirary tract.At the early stage,most of the people can not notice kidney stones in the kidney
which can cause damages to the organs of the body.To meet this this problem The automated detection of
kidney stone is important . Ultrasound imaging which is non-invasive, less costly process is widely
known technique for kidney stone detection . Un noticed stone in kidney can lead to infection and renal
failure in the long run.To prevent renal failure,detection of kidney stone is vital as early as
possible .Recent research has demonstrated that stones in kidney is identified more easily using digital
processing technique than naked eye.It is highly tough for a physician to diagnosekidney stones from
ultrasonic imaging due to presence of noisy artifacts.The contrast resolution of ultrasonic images is very
limited which makes it hard to carry out accurate diagnostic performance. This work presents a digital
image processing technique to enhance the quality of ultrasonic image by image filtering segmentation
and morphological operation to specify the region of interest . A Backpropagation Neural Network
(BPNN) is used to enhance the performance and accuracy level of the detection as mention . GLCM is
used to extract feature and analysis

II.Image processing Methods and Materials:


Image acquisition is the fast task for image processing.Several ultrasonic images were taken to perform
the process from Kaggle.Then image pre-processing is done. It is the simulation section of image
processing.It includes RGB to grayscale conversion of ultrasonic image.Then it is converted grayscale to
binary using Matlab coding.During binarization binary image is filled with holes.Thus image is done.It is
followed by median filtering and noise removation.Next im age segmentation is performed. At this stage
images are segmented using k-means algorithm. Region of interest(ROI) is selected while removing noice
and distortion.Kidney stone is located at the ROI.It is followed by morphological operation. It refers the
image enhancement.Here dilation and erosion performed.Intensity of pixel lower than 250 is eliminated
for morphing the images. Feed forward backpropagation neural network is used to classify the
images.GLCM(Grey Level Co-occurrence matrix) is used to extract feature in order to attain high
accuracy. Entire experimental work is carried out using matlab software.Device configuration includes
Intel i5 processor,windows 10(64bit),RAM 8GB. Total 34 Ultrasound and CT scan images are taken from
Kaggle.

III.Results and discussion:


Entire image processing methods including image preprocessing,segmentation,morphological
operation are done using Matlab coding.Image classification is done using machine learning
algorithm called back propagation neural n etwork.

Conclusion:
This project has successfully detected kidney stones in the ultrasound images.Backpropagation Neural
Network (BPNN) and GLCM feature extraction has enhanced performance,accuracy and efficiency.It has
made easier to diagnose kidney stones as compared to visual impaction. Entire simulation is done using
MATLAB R2018 SOFTWARE. At the early stage many kidney stones get unnoticed to the visual
inspection.Image processing along with classification can correctly detect early stage kidney stone . It has
also overcome some of the challenge including handling huge number of images.This method can be
further developed for various medical image classification purpose.A machine learning based automated
detection model can be developed to predict the size and number of stones in kidney.
