Abstract: Image segmentation is an essential technique of brain tumor MRI image processing for automated diagnosis of an image by partitioning it into distinct regions referred to as a set of pixels. The classification of the tumor affected and non-tumor becomes an arduous task for radiologists. This paper presents a novel image enhancement based on the SCA (Sine Cosine Algorithm) optimization technique for the improvement of image quality. The improved FLICM (Fuzzy Local Information C Means) segmentation technique is proposed to detect the affected regions of brain tumor from the MRI brain tumor images and reduction of noise from the MRI images by introducing a fuzzy factor to the objective function. The SCA weight-optimized Wavelet-Extreme Learning Machine (SCA-WELM) model is also proposed for the classification of benign tumors and malignant tumors from MRI brain images. In the first instance, the enhanced images are undergone improved FLICM Segmentation. In the second phase, the segmented images are utilized for feature extraction. The GLCM feature extraction technique is considered for feature extraction. The extracted features are aligned as input to the SCA-WELM model for the classification of benign and malignant tumors. The following dataset (Dataset-255) is considered for evaluating the proposed classification approach. An accuracy of 99.12% is achieved by the improved FLICM segmentation technique. The classification performance of the SCA-WELM is measured by sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and computational time and achieved 0.98, 0.99, 99.21%, and 97.2576 seconds respectively. The comparison results of SVM (Support Vector Machine), ELM, SCA-ELM, and proposed SCA-WELM models are presented to show the robustness of the proposed SCA-WELM classification model.
