Abstract

One of the most vital parts of medical image analysis is the classification of brain tumors. Because tumors are thought to be origins to cancer, accurate brain tumor classification can save lives. As a result, CNN (Convolutional Neural Network)-based techniques for classifying brain cancers are frequently employed. However, there is a problem: CNNs are exposed to vast amounts of training data in order to produce good performance. This is where transfer learning enters into the picture. We present a 4-class transfer learning approach for categorizing Glioma, Meningioma, and Pituitary tumors and non-tumors in this study. The three most prevalent types of brain tumors are glioma, meningioma, and pituitary tumors. Our presented method, which employs the theory of transfer learning, utilizes a pre-trained InceptionResnetV1 method for classifying brain MRI images by extracting features from them using the softmax classifier method. The proposed approach outperforms all prior techniques with a mean classification accuracy of 93.95%. For the evaluation of our method we use kaggle dataset. Precision, recall, and F-score are one of the key performance metrics employed in this study.
