Monarch Butterfly Optimization based Multi-Convolution Neural Network for Lung Cancer Classification

The lung cancer generally presented a pulmonary nodule on images of diagnostic and correct estimation in malignant pulmonary nodules is difficult for diagnosis and protecting of lung cancer. However, the existing methods has less classification accuracy because of irrelevant features on classification of lung cancer. In this research, proposed a Monarch Butterfly Optimization based Multi-Convolution Neural Network (MBO based M-CNN) method for lung cancer classification. Dataset used for lung cancer classification is LIDC-IDRI dataset and it is pre-processed by Histogram Equalization (HE). Then, the features are extracted by Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and extracted features are selected by Monarch Butterfly Optimization (MBO) algorithm. Then, the lung cancer classification is performed by Multi-Convolution Neural Network (M-CNN). The performance of proposed algorithm is tested in terms of accuracy, precision, sensitivity and specificity. Developed technique obtained accuracy 99.71%, precision 95.39%, sensitivity 99.46%, f1-score 97.45% that is better than previous method like Adaptive Boosting Self-Normalized Multiview Convolution Neural Network (AdaBoost-SNMV-CNN).
