Description
Summary:This paper proposes a novel two-stage approach to improve brain tumor classification accuracy using the Br35H MRI Scan Dataset. The first stage employs advanced image enhancement algorithms, GFPGAN and Real-ESRGAN, to enhance the image dataset’s quality, sharpness, and resolution. Nine deep learning models are then trained and tested on the enhanced dataset, experimenting with five optimizers. In the second stage, ensemble learning algorithms like weighted sum, fuzzy rank, and majority vote are used to combine the scores from the trained models, enhancing prediction results. The top 2, 3, 4, and 5 classifiers are selected for ensemble learning at each rating level. The system’s performance is evaluated using accuracy, recall, precision, and F1-score. It achieves 100% accuracy when using the GFPGAN-enhanced dataset and combining the top 5 classifiers through ensemble learning, outperforming current methodologies in brain tumor classification. These compelling results underscore the potential of our approach in providing highly accurate and effective brain tumor classification.
