Nowadays, cervical cancer has emerged as one of the major causes of death and incredibly difficult to identify. In this research, three novel methods have been developed for the automatic detection and classification of cervical cancer in Pap images. There are five steps in this framework which includes data collection, preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification of images. The proposed method is implemented using Herlev Pap smear data set. The input image from the data set is pre-processed by using an Anisotropic Diffusion Filter with Unsharp Masking technique that removes the noise in the Pap data. In the next step, an enhanced image sequence is segmented automatically by the proposed Advance Map-Based Superpixel Segmentation (AMBSS) algorithm. Finally, cervix cancer images are procured by utilizing an AMBSS and classified by Support Vector Machine classifier. The accuracy obtained is 85.4%. In order to improve the accuracy AMBSS with quasi newton-based Feed Forward Neural Network classification is used and the accuracy of 96.0% is obtained. Furthermore, AMBSS with Deep auto encoder-based Extreme Learning Machine classification is performed and achieved the accuracy of 99.1%. The findings show that the precision of classification typically exceeds other intelligent methods previously applied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
