Harbor seal whiskers optimization algorithm with deep learning-based medical imaging analysis for gastrointestinal cancer detection

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancer detection includes the detection of cancerous or potentially cancerous lesions within the GI tract. Earlier diagnosis is critical for increasing the success of treatment and improving patient outcomes. Medical imaging plays a major role in diagnosing and detecting GI cancer. CT scans, endoscopy, MRI, ultrasound, and positron emission tomography (PET) scans can help detect lesions, abnormal masses, and changes in tissue structure. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) methods are being gradually applied to medical imaging for cancer diagnosis. ML algorithms, including deep learning methodologies like convolutional neural network (CNN), are applied frequently for cancer diagnosis. These models learn features and patterns from labelled datasets to discriminate between normal and abnormal areas in medical images. This article presents a new Harbor Seal Whiskers Optimization Algorithm with Deep Learning based Medical Imaging Analysis for Gastrointestinal Cancer Detection (HSWOA-DLGCD) technique. The goal of the HSWOA-DLGCD algorithm is to explore the GI images for the cancer diagnosis. In order to accomplish this, the HSWOA-DLGCD system applies bilateral filtering (BF) approach for the removal of noise. In addition, the HSWOA-DLGCD technique makes use of HSWOA with Xception model for feature extraction. For cancer recognition, the HSWOA-DLGCD technique applies extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) model. Finally, the parameters compared with the XGBoost system can be selected by moth flame optimization (MFO) system. The experimental results of the HSWOA-DLGCD technique could be verified on the Kvasir database. The simulation outcome demonstrated a best possible solution of the HSWOA-DLGCD method than other recent methods.
