Segmenting an image of a nucleus is one of the most essential tasks in a leukemia diagnostic system. Accurate and rapid segmentation methods help the physicians identify the diseases and provide better treatment at the appropriate time. Recently, hybrid clustering algorithms have started being widely used for image segmentation in medical image processing. In this article, a novel hybrid histogram-based soft covering rough k-means clustering (HSCRKM) algorithm for leukemia nucleus image segmentation is discussed. This algorithm combines the strengths of a soft covering rough set and rough k-means clustering. The histogram method was utilized to identify the number of clusters to avoid random initialization. Different types of features such as gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), color, and shape-based features were extracted from the segmented image of the nucleus. Machine learning prediction algorithms were applied to classify the cancerous and non-cancerous cells. The proposed strategy is compared with an existing clustering algorithm, and the efficiency is evaluated based on the prediction metrics. The experimental results show that the HSCRKM method efficiently segments the nucleus, and it is also inferred that logistic regression and neural network perform better than other prediction algorithms.
Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor found among young and middle aged women. Feature Selection is a process of selecting most enlightening features from the data set which preserves the original significance of the features following reduction. The traditional rough set method cannot be directly applied to deafening data. This is usually addressed by employing a discretization method, which can result in information loss. This paper proposes an approach based on the tolerance rough set model, which has the flair to deal with real-valued data whilst simultaneously retaining dataset semantics. In this paper, a novel supervised feature selection in mammogram images, using Tolerance Rough Set - PSO based Quick Reduct (STRSPSO-QR) and Tolerance Rough Set - PSO based Relative Reduct (STRSPSO-RR), is proposed. The results obtained using the proposed methods show an increase in the diagnostic accuracy.
Big data analysis applications in the field of medical image processing have recently increased rapidly. Feature reduction plays a significant role in eliminating irrelevant features and creating a successful research model for Big Data applications. Fuzzy clustering is used for the segment of the nucleus. Various features, including shape, texture, and color-based features, have been used to address the segmented nucleus. The Modified Dominance Soft Set Feature Selection Algorithm (MDSSA) is intended in this paper to determine the most important features for the classification of leukaemia images. The results of the MDSSA are evaluated using the variance analysis called ANOVA. In the dataset extracted function, the MDSSA selected 17 percent of the features that were more promising than the existing reduction algorithms. The proposed approach also reduces the time needed for further analysis of Big Data. The experimental findings confirm that the performance of the proposed reduction approach is higher than other approaches.
