Automatic segmentation and classification of lung tumour using advance sequential minimal optimisation techniques.

A chronic disorder caused by abnormal growth of the lung cells in the pulmonary tumour. This study suggests a modern automated approach to improve efficiency and decrease the difficulty of lung tumour diagnosis. The proposed algorithm for lung tumour sensing consists of four phases: pre‐processing, segmentation, extraction, and characteristics classification. The first stage is the image acquisition here input lung image is read and then resized. The second stage is the image pre‐processing here Perona–Malik diffusion with unsharp masking filter is proposed for enhancement purposes. The third stage is the segmentation here the improved histogram–based fast 2D Otsu's thresholding is proposed for lung tumour segmentation purposes. Finally, linear discriminant analysis classifier, support vector machine (SVM) classifier, SVM–sequence minimal optimisation classifier, Naive Bayes classifier, SVM–advance sequence minimal optimisation (SVM–ASMO) classification [proposed] included in the various classifier groups adopted in this report. Overall performance accuracy of 0.962 is obtained using the proposed SVM–ASMO method that helps to diagnose the cancer cells using the feature extraction process, which is done automatically. The specificity, precision, recall, and F1 score of the proposed method is found to be a value of 0.984, 0.974, 0.98, and 0.984,respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
