Abstract
In this study, we provide a Convolutional Neural Network-based model for fully autonomous
segmentation and classification of brain tumors. Our concept differs from other efforts in that the input
images are processed along various processing pathways at three different spatial scales. The natural
functioning of the human visual system served as inspiration for this technique. The suggested neural
model does not require pretreatment of input pictures in order to remove portions of the skull or
vertebral column beforehand. It can interpret MRI scans containing Meningioma, glioma, and pituitary
tumors in sagittal, coronal, and axial perspectives. Worldwide, there is a high fatality rate from brain
tumors. Medical professionals must visually analyze the images and mark out the tumor areas, a process
that takes time and is prone to error. Automated methods for early brain tumor identification have
recently been developed.) However, due to their high false-positive outcomes and low accuracy, these
approaches have issues. An efficient tumor identification and classification approach is required to
extract robust characteristics and perform accurate disease classification.) This study proposes a novel
deep feature-based multiclass classification method for brain tumors.) Min-max normalization is used as
a preprocessing step for MR images before considerable data augmentation is undertaken to address
the data problem. A single feature vector created by combining deep CNN features from transfer
learned architectures such as AlexNet, GoogleNet, and ResNet18 is then loaded into SVM and K-nearest
neighbor (KNN) to make a prediction. The suggested method's classification effectiveness is enhanced
by the unique feature vector, which contains more data than the independent vectors. The
recommended method also performed better than the existing methods and produced good accuracy;
as a result, it may be used in a clinical context to categorise brain tumors using MRIs.
