The most common type of brain tumor known as Meningioma arises from the meninges and encloses the spine and the brain inside the skull. It accounts for 30% of all types of brain tumor. Meningioma’s can occur in many parts of the brain and accordingly it is named. In this paper, we propose Meningioma brain tumor classification system using MRI image is developed . Firstly, based on the characteristics of MRI image and Chan-Vese model, we use multiphase level set method to get the interesting region. Therefore, we obtain two matrixes, in which one contains the whole cell's boundary, and the other contains the boundary of some cells. Secondly, with respect to the cells' boundary, it is necessary to further processing, which ensures the boundary of some cells is a discrete region. Mathematical Morphology brings a fancy result during the discrete processing. At last, we consider every discrete region according to the tumor's features to judge whether a tumor appears in the image or not. Our method has a desirable performance in the presence of common tumors. For some non-convex tumors, we utilized a traditional way (SVM and LBP) as a second processing, which increased the coverage and accuracy. Experiments show that our method has a high coverage without any learning-based classifiers for most common tumors, which saves a lot time and reduces a lot workload. Therefore, the proposed method has a good practical application for assisting physicians in detecting Meningiom tumors using MRI images.

A brain tumor is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal brain tissue that can interfere with normal brain function. Although various methods have been developed for brain tumor classification, tumor detection and multiclass classification remain challenging due to the complex characteristics of the brain tumor. Brain tumor detection and classification are one of the most challenging and time-consuming tasks in the processing of medical images. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a visual imaging technique, which provides a information about the soft tissues of the human body, which helps identify the brain tumor. Proper diagnosis can prevent a patient's health to some extent. This paper presents a review of various detection and classification methods for brain tumor classification using image processing techniques.

Purpose Brain tumor segmentation and classification is the interesting area for differentiating the tumorous and the non-tumorous cells in the brain and classifies the tumorous cells for identifying its level. The methods developed so far lack the automatic classification, consuming considerable time for the classification. In this work, a novel brain tumor classification approach, namely, harmony cuckoo search-based deep belief network (HCS-DBN) has been proposed. Here, the images present in the database are segmented based on the newly developed hybrid active contour (HAC) segmentation model, which is the integration of the Bayesian fuzzy clustering (BFC) and the active contour model. The proposed HCS-DBN algorithm is trained with the features obtained from the segmented images. Finally, the classifier provides the information about the tumor class in each slice available in the database. Experimentation of the proposed HAC and the HCS-DBN algorithm is done using the MRI image available in the BRATS database, and results are observed. The simulation results prove that the proposed HAC and the HCS-DBN algorithm have an overall better performance with the values of 0.945, 0.9695 and 0.99348 for accuracy, sensitivity and specificity, respectively. Design/methodology/approach The proposed HAC segmentation approach integrates the properties of the AC model and BFC. Initially, the brain image with different modalities is subjected to segmentation with the BFC and AC models. Then, the Laplacian correction is applied to fuse the segmented outputs from each model. Finally, the proposed HAC segmentation provides the error-free segments of the brain tumor regions prevailing in the MRI image. The next step is to extract the useful features, based on scattering transform, wavelet transform and local Gabor binary pattern, from the segmented brain image. Finally, the extracted features from each segment are provided to the DBN for the training, and the HCS algorithm chooses the optimal weights for DBN training. Findings The experimentation of the proposed HAC with the HCS-DBN algorithm is analyzed with the standard BRATS database, and its performance is evaluated based on metrics such as accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. The simulation results of the proposed HAC with the HCS-DBN algorithm are compared against existing works such as k-NN, NN, multi-SVM and multi-SVNN. The results achieved by the proposed HAC with the HCS-DBN algorithm are eventually higher than the existing works with the values of 0.945, 0.9695 and 0.99348 for accuracy, sensitivity and specificity, respectively. Originality/value This work presents the brain tumor segmentation and the classification scheme by introducing the HAC-based segmentation model. The proposed HAC model combines the BFC and the active contour model through a fusion process, using the Laplacian correction probability for segmenting the slices in the database.

AbstractThis paper presents a novel fully automatic framework for multi-class brain tumor classification and segmentation using a sparse coding and dictionary learning method. The proposed framework consists of two steps: classification and segmentation. The classification of the brain tumors is based on brain topology and texture. The segmentation is based on voxel values of the image data. Using K-SVD, two types of dictionaries are learned from the training data and their associated ground truth segmentation: feature dictionary and voxel-wise coupled dictionaries. The feature dictionary consists of global image features (topological and texture features). The coupled dictionaries consist of coupled information: gray scale voxel values of the training image data and their associated label voxel values of the ground truth segmentation of the training data. For quantitative evaluation, the proposed framework is evaluated using different metrics. The segmentation results of the brain tumor segmentation (MICCAI-BraTS-2013) database are evaluated using five different metric scores, which are computed using the online evaluation tool provided by the BraTS-2013 challenge organizers. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves an accurate brain tumor classification and segmentation and outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

This research proposes a series of algorithms that work for improved Brain Tumor identification and classification. The Brain Tumor study based on the MRI image will effectively resolve the classification method for diagnosis of brain tumors. There are three stages: Extraction of features, Reduction of features and classification. Extraction function and reduction of functionality used for two algorithms. The extracted characteristics are Mean, Standard deviation, Curtosis, Skewness, Entropy Contrast, Variance, Smoothness, Correlation and Power. The result is then supplied to Support Vector Machine (SVM) for the Benign or Malignant classification of tumours.


The brain tumor is one of the most dangerous, common and aggressive diseases which leads to a very short life expectancy at the highest grade. Thus, to prevent life from such disease, early recognition, and fast treatment is an essential step. In this approach, MRI images are used to analyze brain abnormalities. The manual investigation of brain tumor classification is a time-consuming task and there might have possibilities of human errors. Hence accurate analysis in a tiny span of time is an essential requirement. In this approach, the automatic brain tumor classification algorithm using a highly accurate Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm is presented. Initially, the brain part is segmented by thresholding approach followed by a morphological operation. The AlexNet transfer learning network of CNN is used because of the limitation of the brain MRI dataset. The classification layer of Alexnet is replaced by the softmax layer with benign and malignant training images and trained using small weights. The experimental analysis demonstrates that the proposed system achieves the F-measure of 98.44% with low complexity than the state-of-arts method.

The medical image processing is extensively used in several areas. In earlier detection and treatment of these diseases is very helpful to find out the abnormality issues in that image. Here there are number of methods available for diagnosis to detect the brain tumor of MRI image. This study deals with there are two main contributions are implemented in this filter method. (1)The extension of adaptive bilateral method to apply sub-bands of low frequency signal decomposed using wavelet transform. A wavelet threshold is combined with adaptive bilateral method to form an innovative structure in image de-noising method. It’s very efficient to eliminate noise in original noisy images. (2) First detected block boundary and texture regions discontinuities to adapt or control the parameters of spatial and intensity in bilateral filter. The adaptive method can improve the restored image quality in this test result compared with standard bilateral filter. The proposed segmentation technique uses novel strip method and the image is split into number of strips 3, 4, 5 and 6. Using a hybrid Assured Convergence PSO (ACPSO) and Fuzzy C-Mean Clustering (FCM) was proposed method. The segmentation algorithm presented in this research gives 95% of accuracy rate to detect brain tumor when strip count is 5. In this research work presented a feature vector using a different statistical texture analysis of brain tumor from MRI image. The statistical feature texture is computed using GLCM (Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrices) of Brain Nodule structure. For this research work, the brain nodule segmented using strips method to implemented marker watershed image segmentation based on PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) and Fuzzy C-means clustering (FCM). Furthermore, the four angles 0o, 45o, 90o and 135o are calculated the segmented brain image in GLCM. The four angular directions are calculated using texture features are correlation, energy, contrast and homogeneity. The accuracy rate of previous method was compared and proved the proposed method an Assured Convergence Particle Swarm Optimization (ACPSO)-Fuzzy C-Mean (FCM) and using SVM classification technique is suitable for the early detection of brain tumor. In proposed, a tumor extraction is improved in ASPSO-FCM and SVM classification with better accuracy rate of 95.31%.
