Abstract

Detection of brain tumour is very important current scenario of the health care society. Image processing techniques are used to extract the abnormal tumour portion and other features in the brain. Brain tumor is an abnormal mass of lesson in which cells grow up and multiply uncontrollably, apparently unregulated by the mechanisms that control cells. Several techniques like Segmentation, morphological have been developed for detection of tumor in the brain. Texture is a critical feature of several image types and textural features have a lot of application in image processing, content-based image retrieval and so on. There are several ways of extracting these features and the most common way is by using a gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). In our proposed work Texture characterisation has been made to obtain the Haralick features and SVM classifier is used in the Texture classification algorithm which used in detecting the brain tumor. This technique has been tested for 45 images, true positives are 33, True negative is 1, false positive is 1, and True negatives are 10. Sensitivity 97.0%, Specificity 90.9%, Precision or Positive Predictive Value (PPV) 97.0%,Negative Predictive Value (NPV)90.9%, Accuracy 95.0%.

Keywords: Brain tumor, Texture characterisation, Texture classification.
