Improved Hybrid K-Nearest Neighbours Techniques in Segmentation of Low-Grade Tumor and Cerebrospinal Fluid

Abstract

In image segmentation, identifying information or object detection in medical im-ages is crucial, particularly information that is harder to spot in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of low-grade tumors or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). To address the aforementioned problems associated with missing data in MRI images and the low quality of MRI images that required longer processing times, this research is to seg-ment brain tumors or detect CSF in four-dimensional MRI images. A new hybrid k-nearest neighbors (k-NN) framework is also proposed, which consists of three tech-niques: correlation matrices of discrete Fourier transform (CM-DFT), Laplace Eigen maps of locally preserving projection (LELPP), and a hybrid GrabCut hidden Markov model of k-mean clustering (GCHMkC). The combination of the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and the k-mean clustering technique is known as the Hidden Markov Model of the k-mean clustering method (HMMkC). To begin with, the Graph Cut and Support Vector Machine (GCSVM) and the GCHMkC approach are combined. The method increased the quality of the images suggested by the methodology, achieving an accuracy of 99.83%, a sensitivity of 99.99%, a specificity of 99.8%, and a computa-tional execution time of 14.9 seconds. Second, a technique called CM-DFT is sug-gested to improve MRI images while resolving the issue of missing imputation data. The accuracy of the MRI image datasets was improved to 99.84%, the time-lag in the hybrid k-NN algorithm was reduced to 99%, the missing data ratio was reduced to 0.9%, 10%, and 12%, and the correctness of the imputed data was improved to 1.533 seconds with computational execution. Thirdly, the nonlinear data is reduced and unnecessary features are eliminated using the Laplace Eigen maps of locally pre-serving projection (LELPP) approach. The hybrid k-NN algorithm used by the tech-nique yields results with 99% accuracy and an execution duration of 2.42 seconds.
