CPRO: Competitive Poor and Rich Optimizer-Enabled Deep Learning Model and Holoentropy Weighted-Power K-Means Clustering for Brain Tumor Classification Using MRI.

A brain tumor is a collection of irregular and needless cell development in the brain region, and it is considered a life-threatening disease. Therefore, early level segmentation and brain tumor detection with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is more important to save the patient's life. Moreover, MRI is more effective in identifying patients with brain tumors since the recognition of this modality is moderately larger than considering other imaging modalities. The classification of brain tumors is the most important, difficult task in medical imaging systems because of size, appearance and shape variations. In this paper, Competitive Poor and Rich Optimization (CPRO)-based Deep Quantum Neural Network (Deep QNN) is proposed for brain tumor classification. Additionally, the pre-processing process assists in eradicating noises and uses image intensity to eliminate the artifacts. The significant features are extracted from pre-processed image to perform a productive classification process. The Deep QNN classifier is employed for classifying the brain tumor regions. Besides, the Deep QNN classifier is trained by the developed CPRO approach, which is newly designed by integrating Poor and Rich Optimization (PRO) and Competitive Swarm Optimizer (CSO). The developed brain tumor detection model outperformed other existing models with accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 94.44%, 97.60% and 93.78%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
