Comparison Analysis of Brain Image Classification Based on Thresholding Segmentation With Convolutional Neural Network

Abstract

Brain tumor is one of the most fatal diseases that can afflict anyone regardless of gender or age necessitating prompt and accurate treatment as well as early discovery of symptoms. Brain tumors can be identified using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to detect abnormal tissue or cell development in the brain and surrounding the brain. Biopsy is another option, but it takes approximately 10 to 15 days after the inspection, so technology is required to classify the image. The goal of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the greatest accuracy value attained while classifying using segmentation with thresholding versus segmentation without thresholding on the CNN method. Images are assigned threshold values of 150, 100, and 50. The dataset consists of 7023 MRI scans of four types of brain tumors: glioma, notumor, meningioma, and pituitary. Without utilising thresholding segmentation, the classification yielded the highest degree of accuracy, 92%. At the threshold of 100, classification by segmentation received the highest score of 88%. This demonstrates that thresholding segmentation during CNN model preprocessing is less effective for brain image classification
