A brain tumor is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal brain tissue that can interfere with normal brain function. Although various methods have been developed for brain tumor classification, tumor detection and multiclass classification remain challenging due to the complex characteristics of the brain tumor. Brain tumor detection and classification are one of the most challenging and time-consuming tasks in the processing of medical images. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a visual imaging technique, which provides a information about the soft tissues of the human body, which helps identify the brain tumor. Proper diagnosis can prevent a patient's health to some extent. This paper presents a review of various detection and classification methods for brain tumor classification using image processing techniques.

Image processing in biomedical field is being increasingly used for the detection and diagnosis of various abnormalities in the body parts. The detection of brain tumours using image processing on MRI images is one such field where better results are obtained as comparative to CT-scan and x-ray. Prior detection of the brain tumour is desirable and possible with the help of machine learning and image processing techniques. These techniques detect even a small abnormality in the human brain following a four-stage process which includes pre-processing, segmentation, feature extraction and optimization. Different parameters such as accuracy, PSNR, MSE are calculated to find out the efficiency of process and to compare it with other methods. This paper reviews about various different approaches which are used to detect the brain tumor using image processing techniques.

Brain Tumor detection and removal is one medical issue that still remains challenging in the field of biomedicine. MRI is most often used for the detection of tumors, lesions, and other abnormalities in soft tissues, such as the brain. This project is about detecting Brain tumors from MRI images using an interface of GUI in Mat lab. Using the GUI, this program can use various combinations of segmentation, filters, and other image processing algorithms to realize the simplest results. Here We start the process by filtering the image with the help of Prewitt horizontal edge- emphasizing filter. The next step for detecting tumors is "watershed pixels." The most important part of this project is that all the Mat lab programs work with GUI “Matlab guide”

Brain tumor is an unusual intensification of cells inside the skull. The brain MRI scanned images is segmented to extract brain tumor to analyze type and depth of tumor. In order to reduce the time consumption of brain tumor extraction, an automatic method for detection of brain tumor is highly recommended. Deep machine learning methods are used for automatic detection of the brain tumor in soft tissues at an early stage which involves the following stages namely: image pre-processing, clustering and optimization. This paper addresses previously adduced pre-processing (Skull stripping, Contrast stretching, clustering (k-Means, Fuzzy c-means) and optimization (Cuckoo search optimization, Artificial Bee Colony optimization) strategies for abnormal brain tumor detection from MRI brain images. Performance evaluation is done based on computational time of clustering output and optimization algorithms are analyzed in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy


In the field of medical sciences, brain tumor detection has immense significance. Extraction of peculiar tumor portion along with certain features is possible with the use of methods that come under image processing. In the recent years techniques like segmentation and morphological have been undertaken to detect the set of unusual cells that grow in the brain which might be malignant or benign. This paper deals with characterization of texture to obtain Haralick features, with texture being the principle attribute of an image and finds lot of application in image processing. This involves the use of SVM classifier in the algorithm to classify texture in order to detect brain tumor. It has been tested for 70 images and statistical parameters have been calculated and the obtained accuracy is 97.1%, precision is 98.4% and sensitivity is 98%.
