Strategic Enhancement of Brain Tumor Classification Using State-of-the-Art Transfer Learning Methods
摘要
Brain cancer is a serious neurological condition that significantly impacts brain function and may be fatal. In India, it is estimated that 15 million cases are reported annually. It takes early discovery to lessen the tumor’s severity. However, manual examination of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data presents challenges, including inefficiencies and potential inaccuracies in diagnosing brain tumors. Brain tumors vary greatly in shape, size, appearance, and location, adding complexity to the diagnostic process. Computer-aided systems (CAD) have been developed for accurate and rapid diagnosis, but their efficacy still requires validation. The goal of this study is to identify the most efficient classification system among VGG16, VGG19, Inception-V3, and MobileNet-V2. Data augmentation methods are used to enhance the dataset before feeding it into these four convolutional neural networks (CNN) models. A comparison analysis is carried out with the aid of metrics like F1-score, recall, accuracy, and precision. The results show that VGG19 outperforms VGG16, MobileNet-V2, and Inception-V3 in terms of accuracy and precision when data augmentation is applied.
