Breast Cancer Classification from Ultrasound Images Using Probability-Based Optimal Deep Learning Feature Fusion

Abstract

After lung cancer, breast cancer is the second leading cause of death in women. If breast cancer is detected early, mortality rates in women can be reduced. Because manual breast cancer diagnosis takes a long time, an automated system is required for early cancer detection. This paper proposes a new framework for breast cancer classification from ultrasound images that employs deep learning and the fusion of the best selected features. The proposed framework is divided into five major steps: (i) data augmentation is performed to increase the size of the original dataset for better learning of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models; (ii) a pre-trained DarkNet-53 model is considered and the output layer is modified based on the augmented dataset classes; (iii) the modified model is trained using transfer learning and features are extracted from the global average pooling layer; (iv) the best features are selected using two improved optimization algorithms known as reformed differential evaluation (RDE) and reformed gray wolf (RGW); and (v) the best selected features are fused using a new probability-based serial approach and classified using machine learning algorithms. The experiment was conducted on an augmented Breast Ultrasound Images (BUSI) dataset, and the best accuracy was 99.1%. When compared with recent techniques, the proposed framework outperforms them.

Deep Transfer Learning-Based Breast Cancer Detection and Classification Model Using Photoacoustic Multimodal Images

“…The network integrase 2 encoders with one decoder path optimally use data from beamformed images and raw information. Jabeen et al [ 18 ] introduced an architecture for breast cancer classification in ultrasound images which applies DL and fusion of the optimal chosen features. The presented method is classified into the following: (i) data augmentation is implemented for increasing the size of new data set for learning of CNN model; (ii) a pretrained DarkNet-53 architecture is taken into account, and the output layer is adapted on the basis of data set class.…”

Tracking of a Fixed-Shape Moving Object Based on the Gradient Descent Method

“…The proposed algorithm has a significant scope to improve in the future, as the gradient descent algorithm can be further improved and its ensemble with particle swarm optimization can yield even better convergence results for object and human recognition [ 49 , 50 , 51 ]. Moreover, the deep learning based shall be more useful for the recognition task [ 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 ].…”

Framework to Segment and Evaluate Multiple Sclerosis Lesion in MRI Slices Using VGG-UNet

“…Later, VGG-UNet is then enhanced by considering the VGG19 encoder and decoder section, and its merit in detecting the MS lesion is verified. Figure 3 shows the proposed scheme and the concept behind this scheme, and the discussion can be found in [ 25 ].…”
