Bayesian HCS-based multi-SVNN: A classification approach for brain tumor segmentation and classification using Bayesian fuzzy clustering

Abstract Brain tumor segmentation and classification is the interesting area for differentiating the tumerous and the non-tumerous cells in the brain and to classify the tumerous cells for identifying its level. The conventional methods lack the automatic classification and they consumed huge time and are ineffective in decision-making. To overcome the challenges faced by the conventional methods, this paper proposes the automatic method of classification using the Harmony-Crow Search (HCS) Optimization algorithm to train the multi-SVNN classifier. The brain tumor segmentation is performed using the Bayesian fuzzy clustering approach, whereas the tumor classification is done using the proposed HCS Optimization algorithm-based multi-SVNN classifier. The proposed method of classification determines the level of the brain tumor using the features of the segments generated based on Bayesian fuzzy clustering. The robust features are obtained using the information theoretic measures, scattering transform, and wavelet transform. The experimentation performed using the BRATS database conveys proves the effectiveness of the proposed method and the proposed HCS-based tumor segmentation and classification achieves the classification accuracy of 0.93 and outperforms the existing segmentation methods.
