ECFO-DCNN: Egocentric Critter Fish Optimization Enabled Deep Convolutional Neural Network for Brain Tumor Classification
摘要
Early brain tumor detection can avert millions of fatalities and the improvement of survival of patients can be attained by the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which aids in further treatment. Most of the existing techniques in brain tumor detection are less accurate, time-consuming, and less efficient. Hence, automatic classification is performed for the effective classification of tumors. In this research, the Egocentric Critter Fish Optimization-based Deep Convolutional Neural Network (ECFO-DCNN) is proposed for the effective classification of brain tumors. The effective classification is attained using the ECFO-based segmentation and Binary, Directional, Orientational, and Entropy (BDOE) features that boost the convergence and reduce the classifier’s required computational time. The effectiveness of the method is established through the comparison with existing approaches, where the ECFO-DCNN method achieved 90.43% accuracy, 80.65% sensitivity, and 95.32% specificity using the Figshare brain tumor dataset.
