A Fast Hybrid Classification Algorithm with Feature Reduction for Medical Images.

In this paper, we are introducing a fast hybrid fuzzy classification algorithm with feature reduction for medical images. We incorporated the quantum-based grasshopper computing algorithm (QGH) with feature extraction using fuzzy clustering technique ( C -means). QGH integrates quantum computing into machine learning and intelligence applications. The objective of our technique is to the integrate QGH method, specifically into cervical cancer detection that is based on image processing. Many features such as color, geometry, and texture found in the cells imaged in Pap smear lab test are very crucial in cancer diagnosis. Our proposed technique is based on the extraction of the best features using a more than 2600 public Pap smear images and further applies feature reduction technique to reduce the feature space. Performance evaluation of our approach evaluates the influence of the extracted feature on the classification precision by performing two experimental setups. First setup is using all the extracted features which leads to classification without feature bias. The second setup is a fusion technique which utilized QGH with the fuzzy C-means algorithm to choose the best features. In the setups, we allocate the assessment to accuracy based on the selection of best features and of different categories of the cancer. In the last setup, we utilized a fusion technique engaged with statistical techniques to launch a qualitative agreement with the feature selection in several experimental setups.
