This paper proposes a hybrid model (CNN-KNN)
for Magneto Resonance Image (MRI) brain tumor classification, which integrates convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). The CNN model is considered to extract the features and then applied to KNN classifier to predict the classes. Experiments are conducted on an open dataset images chosen from BraTS 2015 and BraTS 2017 database for classification. An accuracy of 96.25% is the performance shown using this proposed method on the test set and proven to be better in terms of accuracy, error rate, F-1 score, sensitivity, and specificity based on experimental results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
