Abstract
Recent improvements in current technology have had a significant impact on a wide range of image processing applications, including medical imaging. Classification, detection, and segmentation are all important aspects of medical imaging technology. An enormous need exists for the segmentation of diagnostic images, which can be applied to a wide variety of medical research applications. It is important to develop an effective segmentation technique based on deep learning algorithms for optimal identification of regions of interest and rapid segmentation. To cover this gap, a pipeline for image segmentation using traditional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) as well as introduced Swarm Intelligence (SI) for optimal identification of the desired area has been proposed. Fuzzy C-means (FCM), K-means, and improvisation of FCM with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), improvisation of K-means with PSO, improvisation of FCM with CNN, and improvisation of K-means with CNN are the six modules examined and evaluated. Experiments are carried out on various types of images such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for brain data analysis, dermoscopic for skin, microscopic for blood leukemia, and computed tomography (CT) scan images for lungs. After combining all of the datasets, we have constructed five subsets of data, each of which had a different number of images: 50, 100, 500, 1000, and 2000. Each of the models was executed and trained on the selected subset of the datasets. From the experimental analysis, it is observed that the performance of K-means with CNN is better than others and achieved 96.45% segmentation accuracy with an average time of 9.09 seconds.
