Circle-Inspired Sine Cosine Optimization-Enabled CRF-RNN and ZFNet for Brain Tumor Segmentation and Classification Using MRI Images

Abstract

The segmentation and classification of brain tumor are a attractive regions, which distinguish tumor as well as nontumor cells for identifying a level of tumor. Segmentation and classification from MRI images is a great challenge due to their altering image sizes and vast databases. Various schemes are designed for the segmentation and classification of the brain tumor, but these methods failed to offer better classification accuracy and decision-making. Here, Circle-inspired sine cosine Optimization_conditional random field-recurrent neural network (CISCO-CRF-RNN) and CISCO-Zeiler and Fergus network (CISCO-ZFNet) are introduced for brain tumor segmentation and classification. A pre-processing phase in this research is executed by the median filter to eliminate noises from an image. The segmentation is done by CRF-RNN, which is trained by CISCO. Furthermore, CISCO is newly introduced by incorporation of Circle-Inspired Optimization Algorithm (CIOA) and Sine Cosine Algorithm (SCA). Thereafter, image augmentation is performed utilizing some image augmentation techniques, and thereafter, features namely statistical features, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) features, haralick features, pyramid histogram of orientation gradients (PHoG), and Local Vector Pattern (LVP) are extracted. Finally, the classification of brain tumor is accomplished utilizing ZFNet, which is tuned using CISCO. In addition, CISCO-CRF-RNN obtained maximal segmentation accuracy of 90.6% whereas CISCO-ZFNet achieved maximum pixel accuracy, negative predictive value (NPV), positive predictive value (PPV), and True positive rate TPR of 92.5%, 89.2%, 90.1% and 93% as well as minimum FNR of 15%.
