In recent years the occurrence of brain tumor has exaggerated in large amount among the people. Gliomas are one of the most common types of primary brain tumors that represent 30% of all human brain tumors and 80% of all malevolent tumors. The grading system specified by the World Health Organization (WHO) is deployed as a standard mechanism for medical diagnosis, prognosis, and the existence forecast so far. The main ideology of this paper is to propose and develop reliable and typical methods to detect the brain tumor, extract the characteristic of it and classify the glioma using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The developed model helps in the detection of brain tumor automatically and it is implemented using image processing and artificial neural network. The most basic part of image processing is the analysis and manipulation of a digitized image, especially in order to improve its quality. In this proposed system, the Histogram Equalization (HE) technique is used to improve the contrast of the original image. Then the pre-processed image is subjected to feature extraction using Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). The obtained feature is given to Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) classifier that is used to train and test the performance accuracy in the perception of tumor location in brain MRI images. By implementing this approach, PNN classifier has procured accuracy of about 90.9%.

Brain tumor discovery and its segmentation from the magnetic resonance images (MRI) is a difficult task that has convoluted structures that make it hard to section the tumor with MR cerebrum images, different tissues, white issue, gray issue, and cerebrospinal liquid. A mechanized grouping for brain tumor location and division helps the patients for legitimate treatment. Additionally, the method improves the analysis and decreases the indicative time. In the separation of cerebrum tumor, MRI images would focus on the size, shape, area, and surface of MRI images. In this chapter, the authors have focused various supervised and unsupervised clustering techniques for identifying brain tumor and separating it using convolutional neural network (CNN), k-means clustering, fuzzy c-means grouping, and so on.

Background: Variations of image segmentation techniques, particularly those used for Brain MRI segmentation, vary in complexity from basic standard Fuzzy C-means (FCM) to more complex and enhanced FCM techniques. Objective: In this paper, a comprehensive review is presented on all thirteen variations of FCM segmentation techniques. In the review process, the concentration is on the use of FCM segmentation techniques for brain tumors. Brain tumor segmentation is a vital step in the process of automatically diagnosing brain tumors. Unlike segmentation of other types of images, brain tumor segmentation is a very challenging task due to the variations in brain anatomy. The low contrast of brain images further complicates this process. Early diagnosis of brain tumors is indeed beneficial to patients, doctors, and medical providers. Results: FCM segmentation works on images obtained from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, requiring minor modifications to hospital operations to early diagnose tumors as most, if not all, hospitals rely on MRI machines for brain imaging. In this paper, we critically review and summarize FCM based techniques for brain MRI segmentation.

The classification of brain tumors is a difficult task in the field of medical image analysis. Improving algorithms and machine learning technology helps radiologists to easily diagnose the tumor without surgical intervention. In recent years, deep learning techniques have made excellent progress in the field of medical image processing and analysis. However, there are many difficulties in classifying brain tumors using magnetic resonance imaging; first, the difficulty of brain structure and the intertwining of tissues in it; and secondly, the difficulty of classifying brain tumors due to the high density nature of the brain. We propose a differential deep convolutional neural network model (differential deep-CNN) to classify different types of brain tumor, including abnormal and normal magnetic resonance (MR) images. Using differential operators in the differential deep-CNN architecture, we derived the additional differential feature maps in the original CNN feature maps. The derivation process led to an improvement in the performance of the proposed approach in accordance with the results of the evaluation parameters used. The advantage of the differential deep-CNN model is an analysis of a pixel directional pattern of images using contrast calculations and its high ability to classify a large database of images with high accuracy and without technical problems. Therefore, the proposed approach gives an excellent overall performance. To test and train the performance of this model, we used a dataset consisting of 25,000 brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images, which includes abnormal and normal images. The experimental results showed that the proposed model achieved an accuracy of 99.25%. This study demonstrates that the proposed differential deep-CNN model can be used to facilitate the automatic classification of brain tumors.

The detection of hydrophobicity is an important way to evaluate the performance of composite insulator, which is helpful to the safe operation of composite insulator. In this paper, the image processing technology and Back Propagation neural network is introduced to recognize the composite insulator hydrophobicity grade. First, hydrophobic image is preprocessed by histogram equalization and adaptive median filter, then the image was segmented by Ostu threshold method, and four features associated with hydrophobicity are extracted. Finally, the improved Back Propagation neural network is adopted to recognize composite insulator hydrophobicity grade. The experimental results show that the improved Back Propagation neural network can accurately recognize the composite insulator hydrophobicity


This paper presents brain tumor detection and segmentation using image processing techniques. Convolutional neural networks can be applied for medical research in brain tumor analysis. The tumor in the MRI scans is segmented using the K-means clustering algorithm which is applied of every scan and the feed it to the convolutional neural network for training and testing. In our CNN we propose to use ReLU and Sigmoid activation functions to determine our end result. The training is done only using the CPU power and no GPU is used. The research is done in two phases, image processing and applying neural network.

Abstract Since magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has superior soft tissue contrast, contouring (brain) tumor accurately by MRI images is essential in medical image processing. Segmenting tumor accurately is immensely challenging, since tumor and normal tissues are often inextricably intertwined in the brain. It is also extremely time consuming manually. Late deep learning techniques start to show reasonable success in brain tumor segmentation automatically. The purpose of this study is to develop a new region-ofinterest-aided (ROI-aided) deep learning technique for automatic brain tumor MRI segmentation. The method consists of two major steps. Step one is to use a 2D network with U-Net architecture to localize the tumor ROI, which is to reduce the impact of normal tissue’s disturbance. Then a 3D U-Net is performed in step 2 for tumor segmentation within identified ROI. The proposed method is validated on MICCAI BraTS 2015 Challenge with 220 high Gliomas grade (HGG) and 54 low Gliomas grade (LGG) patients’ data. The Dice similarity coefficient and the Hausdorff distance between the manual tumor contour and that segmented by the proposed method are 0.876 ±0.068 and 3.594±1.347 mm, respectively. These numbers are indications that our proposed method is an effective ROI-aided deep learning strategy for brain MRI tumor segmentation, and a valid and useful tool in medical image processing.

Abstract Background Brain tumor segmentation is a challenging problem in medical image processing and analysis. It is a very time-consuming and error-prone task. In order to reduce the burden on physicians and improve the segmentation accuracy, the computer-aided detection (CAD) systems need to be developed. Due to the powerful feature learning ability of the deep learning technology, many deep learning-based methods have been applied to the brain tumor segmentation CAD systems and achieved satisfactory accuracy. However, deep learning neural networks have high computational complexity, and the brain tumor segmentation process consumes significant time. Therefore, in order to achieve the high segmentation accuracy of brain tumors and obtain the segmentation results efficiently, it is very demanding to speed up the segmentation process of brain tumors. Results Compared with traditional computing platforms, the proposed FPGA accelerator has greatly improved the speed and the power consumption. Based on the BraTS19 and BraTS20 dataset, our FPGA-based brain tumor segmentation accelerator is 5.21 and 44.47 times faster than the TITAN V GPU and the Xeon CPU. In addition, by comparing energy efficiency, our design can achieve 11.22 and 82.33 times energy efficiency than GPU and CPU, respectively. Conclusion We quantize and retrain the neural network for brain tumor segmentation and merge batch normalization layers to reduce the parameter size and computational complexity. The FPGA-based brain tumor segmentation accelerator is designed to map the quantized neural network model. The accelerator can increase the segmentation speed and reduce the power consumption on the basis of ensuring high accuracy which provides a new direction for the automatic segmentation and remote diagnosis of brain tumors.


Automated brain tumor identification and classification is still an open problem for research in the medical image processing domain. Brain tumor is a bunch of unwanted cells that develop in the brain. This growth of a tumor takes up space within skull and affects the normal functioning of brain. Automated segmentation and detection of brain tumors are important in MRI scan analysis as it provides information about neural architecture of brain and also about abnormal tissues that are extremely necessary to identify appropriate surgical plan. Automating this process is a challenging task as tumor tissues show high diversity in appearance with different patients and also in many cases they tend to appear very similar to the normal tissues. Effective extraction of features that represent the tumor in brain image is the key for better classification. In this paper, we propose a hybrid feature extraction process. In this process, we combine the local and global features of the brain MRI using first by Discrete Wavelet Transformation and then using texture based statistical features by computing Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix. The extracted combined features are used to construct decision tree for classification of brain tumors in to benign or malignant class.
