A robust genetic algorithm-based optimal feature predictor model for brain tumour classification from MRI data

Abstract

ABSTRACT Brain tumour can be cured if it is initially screened and given timely treatment to the patients. This proposed idea suggests a transform- and windowing-based optimization strategy for exposing and segmenting the tumour region in brain pictures. The processes of image processing that are included in the proposed idea include preprocessing, transformation, feature extraction, feature optimization, classification, and segmentation. In order to convert the pixels connected to the spatial domain into a multi-resolution domain, the Gabor transform is first applied to the brain test image. The Gabor converted brain image is then used to extract the parameters of the multi-level features. After that, the Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to optimize the extracted features, and Neuro Fuzzy System (NFS) is used to classify the optimistic prominent section. Finally, the tumour region in brain images is found and segmented using the normalized segmentation algorithm. The effective detection and classification of brain tumours by the characteristics of sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy are described by the suggested GA-based NFS classification approach. The trial findings are displayed with an average of 99.37% sensitivity, 98.9% specificity, 99.21% accuracy, 97.8% PPV, 91.8% NPV, 96.8% FPR, and 90.4% FNR.
