Abstract
In the healthcare field, the detection of critical diseases such as brain tumors is essential. A technique like traditional support vector machine has been commonly used for brain tumor classification. However, Processing and detecting brain tumors requires achieving high accuracy with shorter detection time and reduced complexity. To accomplish this, efficient feature selection is necessary, which can be based on various factors. A convolutional neural network-based stacking technique is introduced for effective brain tumor classification and prediction using Red Panda optimization. By efficiently extracting spatial data from medical images, a convolutional neural network is used in stacking to enhance thecapacity of our model for abnormality detection and classification in the prediction of brain tumors. Red panda optimization is a biologically inspired stochastic optimization algorithm used for the effective selection of significant features. This Technique improves the prediction accuracy in a shorter period and reduces the complexity by selecting significant features for a huge amount of data by employing effective optimization. This technique is tested on multiple standard datasets to assess our model’s performance. Our technique is compared to other optimization models such as Mutual information-based optimization and traditional particle swarm optimization for further validation. Our model showed an improvement in detection accuracy to 98% with a better reduction in detection time and complexity.
