Classifications of meningioma brain images using the novel Convolutional Fuzzy C Means (CFCM) architecture and performance analysis of hardware incorporated tumor segmentation module

In this paper, meningioma detection and segmentation method is proposed. This research work proposes an effective method to locate meningioma pictures through a novel CFCM classification approach. This proposed method consist of Non-Sub sampled Contourlet Transform decomposition module which decomposes the entire brain image into multi-scale sub-band images and then the heuristic and uniqueness features have been computed individually. Then, these heuristic and uniqueness features are trained and classified using Convolutional Fuzzy C Means (CFCM) classifier. This proposed method is applied on two independent brain imaging datasets. The proposed meningioma identification system stated in this work obtained 98.81% of Se, 98.83% of Sp, 99.04% of Acc, 99.12% of pr, and 99.14% of FIS on Nanfang University dataset brain images. The proposed meningioma identification system stated in this work obtained 98.92% of Se, 98.88% of Sp, 98.9% of Acc, 98.88% of pr, and 99.36% of FIS on the BRATS 2021 brain images. Finally, the tumour segmentation module is designed in VLSI, and it is simulated using Xilinx project navigator in this paper.
