Abstract

Since a brain tumor is essentially a collection of aberrant tissues, it is crucial to classify tumors of the brain using MRI before beginning therapy. Tumor segmentation and classification from brain MRI scans are well-known to be challenging and important endeavors. It has the potential used in diagnostics, preoperative planning, and postoperative evaluations. Furthermore, it^s crucial to get accurate measurements of the tumor^s location on an MRI of the brain. The development of machine learning models and other technologies will let radiologists detect malignancies without having to cut into patients. Pre-processing, skull stripping, and tumor segmentation are the steps in the process of detecting a brain tumor and measurement (size and form). After a certain period of time, CNN models get overfit because of the large number of training images used to train them. That^s why we now have deep CNN that uses transfer learning. CNN-based Relu architecture and SVM with fused retrieved features via HOG and LPB are used to classify brain MRI tumors (glioma or meningioma). The methods^ efficacy is measured by precision, recall, F-measure, and accuracy. The modified systems showed that the accuracy of SVM with combined LBP with HOG is 97% and modified CNN of 98%.
