Brain Tumor Extraction and Classification from MRI Images

Abstract

This paper proposes a methodology in which detection, extraction and classification of brain tumour is done with the help of a patient’s MRI image. Processing of medical images is currently a huge emerging issue and it has attracted lots of research all over the globe. Several techniques have been developed so far to process the images efficiently and extract out their important features. The paper describes certain strategies including some noise removal filters, grayscaling, segmentation along with morphological operations which are needed to extract out the features from the input image and SVM classifier for classification purpose.
