Automatic Brain Tumor Classification via Lion Plus Dragonfly Algorithm

Denoising, skull stripping, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification are five important processes in this paper’s development of a brain tumor classification model. The brain tumor image will be imposed first using the entropy-based trilateral filter to de-noising and this image is imposed to skull stripping by means of morphological partition and Otsu thresholding. Adaptive contrast limited fuzzy adaptive histogram equalization (CLFAHE) is also used in the segmentation process. The gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) characteristics are derived from the segmented image. The collected GLCM features are used in a hybrid classifier that combines the neural network (NN) and deep belief network (DBN) ideas. As an innovation, the hidden neurons of the two classifiers are modified ideally to improve the prediction model’s accuracy. The hidden neurons are optimized using a unique hybrid optimization technique known as lion with dragonfly separation update (L-DSU), which integrates the approaches from both DA and LA. Finally, the suggested model’s performance is compared to that of the standard models concerning certain performance measures.
