Abstract
A combined approach with MRI brain image denoising and abnormality detection process is proposed in this paper. The proposed technique is comprised of three stages, namely (i) image preprocessing, (ii) feature extraction, and (iii) image classification. Initially, in the preprocessing stage, denoising is performed on the input brain MRI image. The denoising process on the input image increases the accuracy of feature extraction stage. In feature extraction phase, the image features such as mean, variance, and multilevel 2D Haar wavelet decomposition are extracted for classifying the images in the database into normal and abnormal. By using these extracted features, the MRI brain images are classified by the well-known classification technique such as feed forward back propagation neural networks (FFBNN). The implementation of the proposed method shows improvements in classification of MRI images.
