Hybrid Semantic Feature Descriptor and Fuzzy C-Means Clustering for Lung Cancer Detection and Classification
Lung cancer (LC) will decrease the yield, which will have a negative impact on the economy. Therefore, primary and accurate the attack finding is a priority for the agro-dependent state. In several modern technologies for early detection of LC, image processing has become a one of the essential tool so that it cannot only early to find the disease accurately, but also successfully measure it. Various approaches have been developed to detect LC based on background modelling. Most of them focus on temporal information but partially or completely ignore spatial information, making it sensitive to noise. In order to overcome these issues an improved hybrid semantic feature descriptor technique is introduced based on Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM), Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) feature extraction algorithms. And also to improve the LC segmentation problems a fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm (FCM) is used. Experiments and comparisons on publically available LIDC-IBRI dataset. To evaluate the proposed feature extraction performance three different classifiers are analysed such as artificial neural networks (ANN), recursive neural network and recurrent neural networks (RNNs).
