EGDP based feature extraction and deep convolutional belief network for brain tumor detection using MRI image.

This research presents a novel deep learning framework for MRI-based brain tumour (BT) detection. The input brain MRI image is first acquired from the dataset. Once the images have been obtained, they are passed to an image preprocessing step where a median filter is used to eliminate noise and artefacts from the input image. The tumour-tumour region segmentation module receives the denoised image and it uses RP-Net to segment the BT region. Following that, in order to prevent overfitting, image augmentation is carried out utilizing methods including rotating, flipping, shifting, and colour augmentation. Later, the augmented image is forwarded to the feature extraction phase, wherein features like GLCM and proposed EGDP formulated by including entropy with GDP are extracted. Finally, based on the extracted features, BT detection is accomplished based on the proposed deep convolutional belief network (DCvB-Net), which is formulated using the deep convolutional neural network and deep belief network.The devised DCvB-Net for BT detection is investigated for its performance concerning true negative rate, accuracy, and true positive rate is established to have acquired values of 93%, 92.3%, and 93.1% correspondingly.
