Enhanced deep auto encoder technique for brain tumor classification and detection

Abstract

A brain tumor can develop due to uncontrolled proliferation of aberrant cells in brain tissue. Malignant tumor can influence the nearby brain tissues, potentially resulting in the person's death. Early diagnosis of a brain tumor is crucial for ensuring the survival of patients. This article introduces an improved method using a deep auto encoder for the classification and detection of brain tumor. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images are obtained from the BraTS data sets. The images undergo preprocessing using an adaptive Wiener filter. Image preprocessing is essential for eliminating noise from the input MRI pictures, hence enhancing the accuracy of MRI image classification. The fuzzy C-means technique is used to accomplish image segmentation. The classification model comprises deep auto encoder, convolution neural network (CNN), and K-nearest neighbor techniques. The classification model is developed and evaluated using MRI image slices from the BraTS dataset. Accuracy of deep auto encoder is 98.81%. Accuracy of CNN is 95.50 and accuracy of K-nearest neighbor (KNN) technique is 91.30%.
