Image segmentation is a technique which divides an image into its constituent regions or objects. Segmentation continues till we reach our area of interest or the specified object of target. This field offers vast future scope and challenges for the researchers. This proposal uses the fuzzy c mean technique to segment the different MRI brain tumor images. This proposal also shows the comparative results of Thresholding, K-means clustering and Fuzzy c- means clustering. Dice coefficient and Jaccards measure is used for accuracy of the segmentation in this proposal. Experimental results demonstrate the performance of the designed method.

Abstract Segmentation of brain image should be done accurately as it can help to predict deadly brain tumor disease so that it can be possible to control the malicious segments of brain image if known beforehand. The accuracy of the brain tumor analysis can be enhanced through the brain tumor segmentation procedure. Earlier DCNN models do not consider the weights as of learning instances which may decrease accuracy levels of the segmentation procedure. Considering the above point, we have suggested a framework for optimizing the network parameters such as weight and bias vector of DCNN models using swarm intelligent based algorithms like Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Gray Wolf Optimization (GWO) and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). The simulation results reveals that the WOA optimized DCNN segmentation model is outperformed than other three optimization based DCNN models i.e., GA-DCNN, PSO-DCNN, GWO-DCNN.

Automated brain tumor segmenters typically run a “skull-stripping” pre-process to extract the brain from the 3D image, before segmenting the area of interest within the extracted volume. We demonstrate that an effective existing segmenter can be improved by replacing its skull-stripper component with one that instead uses a registration-based approach. In particular, we compare our automated brain segmentation system with the original system as well as three other approaches that differ only by using a different skull-stripper—BET, HWA, and ROBEX: (1) Over scans of 120 patients with brain tumors, our system’s segmentation accuracy (Dice score with respect to expert segmentation) is 8.6% (resp. 2.7%) better than the original system on gross tumor volumes (resp. edema); (2) Over 103 scans of controls, the new system found 92.9% (resp. 57.8%) fewer false positives on T1C (resp. FLAIR) volumes. (The other three methods were significantly worse on both tasks). Finally, the new registration-based approach is over 15% faster than the original, requiring on average only 178 CPU seconds per volume.
