Multi-objective Metaheuristics with Intelligent Deep Learning Model for Pancreatic Tumor Diagnosis

Abstract

Pancreatic tumor is the deadliest disease which needs earlier identification to reduce the mortality rate. With this motivation, this study introduces a Multi-Objective Metaheuristics with Intelligent Deep Learning Model for Pancreatic Tumor Diagnosis (MOM-IDL) model. The proposed MOM-IDL technique encompasses an adaptive Weiner filter based pre-processing technique to enhance the image quality and get rid of the noise. In addition, multi-level thresholding based segmentation using Kapur’s entropy is employed where the threshold values are optimally chosen by the barnacles mating optimizer (BMO). Besides, densely connected network (DenseNet-169) is employed as a feature extractor and fuzzy support vector machine (FSVM) is utilized as a classifier. For improving the classification performance, the BMO technique was implemented for fine-tuning the parameters of the FSVM model. The design of MOBMO algorithm for threshold selection and parameter optimization processes shows the novelty of the work. A wide range of simulations take place on the benchmark dataset and the experimental results highlighted the enhanced performance of the MOM-IDL technique over the recent state of art techniques.
