Abstract

Among the currently proposed brain segmentation methods, brain tumor segmentation methods based on traditional image processing and machine learning are not ideal enough. Therefore, deep learning-based brain segmentation methods are widely used. In the brain tumor segmentation method based on deep learning, the convolutional network model has a good brain segmentation effect. The deep convolutional network model has the problems of a large number of parameters and large loss of information in the encoding and decoding process. This paper proposes a deep convolutional neural network fusion support vector machine algorithm (DCNN-F-SVM). The proposed brain tumor segmentation model is mainly divided into three stages. In the first stage, a deep convolutional neural network is trained to learn the mapping from image space to tumor marker space. In the second stage, the predicted labels obtained from the deep convolutional neural network training are input into the integrated support vector machine classifier together with the test images. In the third stage, a deep convolutional neural network and an integrated support vector machine are connected in series to train a deep classifier. Run each model on the BraTS dataset and the self-made dataset to segment brain tumors. The segmentation results show that the performance of the proposed model is significantly better than the deep convolutional neural network and the integrated SVM classifier.

Summary

Introduction

The incidence of brain tumors increases with age [1]. This article focuses on gliomas in brain tumors. Because gliomas have different degrees of deterioration and contain multiple tumor tissue regions and brain MRI is a multimodal and many-layer three-dimensional scan image, manual segmentation of glioma regions requires a lot of time and manpower. Because the growth position of glioma is not fixed, it is often accompanied by a tumor mass effect This will cause the surrounding normal brain tissue to be compressed and change its shape, thereby generating irregular background information and increasing the difficulty of segmentation. In order to make the results more accurate, we deepened the classification process and iterated these two steps again to form the framework of the CNN-SVM in series (2) The traditional segmentation method is to use the training set to train a suitable classifier, and test the set for verification. Compared with the segmentation performance of CNN and SVM alone, the superiority of the proposed model can be reflected in various evaluation indexes
