The most dangerous form of cancer is breast cancer. This disease is life-threatening because of its aggressive nature and high death rates. Therefore, early discovery increases the patient's survival. Mammography has recently been recommended as diagnosis technique. Mammography, is expensive and exposure the person to radioactivity. Thermography is a less invasive and affordable technique that is becoming increasingly popular. Considering this, a recent deep learning-based breast cancer diagnosis approach is executed by thermography images. Initially, thermography images are chosen from online sources. The collected thermography images are being preprocessed by Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) and contrasting enhancement methods to improve the quality and brightness of the images. Then, the optimal binary thresholding is done to segment the preprocessed images, where optimized the thresholding value using developed Rock Hyraxes Dandelion Algorithm Optimization (RHDAO). A newly implemented deep learning structure StackVRDNet is used for further processing breast cancer diagnosing using thermography images. The segmented images are fed to the StackVRDNet framework, where the Visual Geometry Group (VGG16), Resnet, and DenseNet are employed for constructing this model. The relevant features are extracted usingVGG16, Resnet, and DenseNet, and then obtain stacked weighted feature pool from the extracted features, where the weight optimization is done with the help of RHDAO. The final classification is performed using StackVRDNet, and the diagnosis results are obtained at the final layer of VGG16, Resnet, and DenseNet. A higher scoring method is rated for ensuring final diagnosis results. Here, the parameters present within the VGG16, Resnet, and DenseNet are optimized via the RHDAO to improve the diagnosis results. The simulation outcomes of the developed model achieve 97.05% and 86.86% in terms of accuracy and precision, respectively. The effectiveness of the designed methd is being analyzed via the conventional breast cancer diagnosis models in terms of various performance measures.
最危险的癌症形式是乳腺癌。这种疾病因其侵袭性和高死亡率而危及生命。因此,早期发现可提高患者的生存率。乳房X线摄影术最近被推荐为诊断技术。乳房X线摄影术昂贵且会使人体暴露于辐射中。热成像术是一种侵入性较小且价格实惠的技术,正变得越来越受欢迎。考虑到这一点,最近通过热成像图像执行了一种基于深度学习的乳腺癌诊断方法。最初,从在线来源选择热成像图像。收集到的热成像图像通过对比度受限自适应直方图均衡化(CLAHE)和对比度增强方法进行预处理,以提高图像的质量和亮度。然后,进行最佳二值化阈值处理以分割预处理后的图像,其中使用开发的岩蹄兔蒲公英算法优化(RHDAO)来优化阈值。一种新实现的深度学习结构StackVRDNet用于使用热成像图像进一步处理乳腺癌诊断。分割后的图像被输入到StackVRDNet框架中,在该框架中使用视觉几何组(VGG16)、残差网络(Resnet)和密集连接网络(DenseNet)来构建此模型。使用VGG16、Resnet和DenseNet提取相关特征,然后从提取的特征中获得堆叠加权特征池,其中借助RHDAO进行权重优化。使用StackVRDNet进行最终分类,并在VGG16、Resnet和DenseNet的最后一层获得诊断结果。采用更高评分方法来确保最终诊断结果。在此,通过RHDAO对VGG16、Resnet和DenseNet中的参数进行优化,以提高诊断结果。所开发模型的模拟结果在准确率和精确率方面分别达到了97.05%和86.86%。通过传统乳腺癌诊断模型,从各种性能指标方面分析了所设计方法的有效性。
