Evolutionary gravitational neocognitron neural network optimized with marine predators optimization algorithm for MRI brain tumor classification

Abstract

ABSTRACT Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful tool for tumor diagnosis in human brain. Here, the MRI images are considered to detect the brain tumor and classify the regions as meningioma, glioma, pituitary and normal types. Numerous existing methods regarding brain tumor detection were suggested previously, but none of the methods accurately categorizes the brain tumor and consumes more computation period. To address these problems, an Evolutionary Gravitational Neocognitron Neural Network optimized with Marine Predators Algorithm is proposed in this article for MRI Brain Tumor Classification (EGNNN-VGG16-MPA-MRI-BTC). Initially, the brain MRI pictures are collected under Brats MRI image dataset. By using Savitzky-Golay Denoising approach, these images are pre-processed. The features are extracted utilizing visual geometry group network (VGG16). By utilizing VGG16, the features, like Grey level features, Haralick Texture features are extracted. These extracted features are given to EGNNN classifier, which categorizes the brain tumor as glioma, meningioma, pituitary gland and normal. Batch Normalization (BN) layer of EGNNN is eliminated and included with VGG16 layer. Marine Predators Optimization Algorithm (MPA) optimizes the weight parameters of EGNNN. The simulation is activated in MATLAB. Finally, the EGNNN-VGG16-MPA-MRI-BTC method attains 38.98%, 46.74%, 23.27% higher accuracy, 24.24%, 37.82%, 13.92% higher precision, 26.94%, 47.04%, 38.94% higher sensitivity compared with the existing AlexNet-SVM-MRI-BTC, RESNET-SGD-MRI-BTC and MobileNet-V2-MRI-BTC models respectively.
