This paper deals with the implementation of Simple Algorithms for detection of size and shape of tumor in brain using MRI images. Generally, CT scan or MRI that is directed into intracranial cavity produces a complete image of brain. This image is visually examined by the physician for detection & diagnosis of brain tumor. However this method of detection resists the accurate determination of stage & size of tumor. To avoid that, this project uses computer aided method for segmentation (detection) of brain tumor by applying Fuzzy C-Means, K-Means, Gaussian Kernel and Pillar K-means algorithms. This segmentation process includes a new mechanism for clustering the elements of high-resolution images in order to improve precision and reduce computation time. The system applies FCM, Gaussian kernel and K-means clustering to the image later optimized by Pillar Algorithm. It designates the initial centroids’ positions by calculating the Euclidian distance metric between each data point and all previous centroids. Then it selects data points which have the maximum distance as new initial centroids. This algorithm distributes all initial centroids according to the maximum accumulated distance metric. In addition, it also reduces the time for analysis. At the end of the process the tumor is extracted from the MRI image and its exact position and the shape is also determined. This paper evaluates the proposed approach for Brain tumor detection by comparing with K-means, Fuzzy C means, Gaussian Kernel and manually segmented algorithms. The experimental results clarify the effectiveness of proposed approach to improve the segmentation quality in aspects of precision and computational time.

Image fusion is the process of combining important information from two or more images into a single image. The resulting image will be more enhanced than any of the input pictures. The idea of combining multiple image modalities to furnish a single, more enhanced image is well established, special fusion methods have been proposed in literature. This paper is based on image fusion using laplacian pyramid and Discreet Wavelet Transform (DWT) methods. This system uses an easy and effective algorithm for multi-focus image fusion which uses fusion rules to create fused image. Subsequently, the fused image is obtained by applying inverse discreet wavelet transform. After fused image is obtained, watershed segmentation algorithm is applied to detect the tumor part in fused image.

Abstract
Brain tumour detection and segmentation is most important and challenging task in early tumour diagnosis. There are various
segmentation methods available but they are still challenging methods because of its complex characteristics such as ambiguous
boundaries and high diversity. To overcome this problem we are going to implement automatic brain tumour detection and
segmentation method by using local independent projection based classification. In this method we are going to consider tumour
segmentation as a classification problem. In this paper locality is important in calculations of projections. Also local anchor
embedding is used to solve linear projection weights. The softmax regression model is used to improve classification performance.
In this study we used MRI images as training and testing data. Finally the brain tumour is classified into tumour and edema
region. The area of tumour region is calculated in pixels.

Comparitive study of brain tumor detection using morphological operatorseSAT Journals
Abstract
Segmentation divides an image into foreground object and the background object. In our case foreground object is brain tumor and background is CSF, white matter, and grey matter. Aim of our study is to detect the tumor and remove the background completely and compare the morphological operations that can be used for this purpose. Segmentation remains a challenging area for researchers since many segmentation methods results in over segmentation or under segmentation and hence, leads to the false interpretation of the results. The proposed work is the comparative study of the morphological segmentation methods for segmenting brain tumor from MRI images. Before segmentation, filtration process is carried out using two method, Non Local mean filter and median filter and their results are compared using MSE and PSNR. NL mean filter preserves sharp edges and fine details in an image hence, preferred over median filter. Also tumor location is identified, to get an approximate idea about the position of the tumor in the brain i.e. in which part the brain tumor is located. The tumor is identified by using different algorithms which are based on morphology such as watershed segmentation, morphological erosion, and hole filling algorithm and comparison between them is carried out based on parameters like accuracy, sensitivity and elapsed time. Each of the segmentation results are compared with the tumor obtained using interactive tool present in MATLAB R2013b.

SEGMENTATION OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE BRAIN TUMOR USING INTEGRATED FUZZY K-MEANS...ijcsit
Segmentation is a process of partitioning the image into several objects. It plays a vital role in many fields
such as satellite, remote sensing, object identification, face tracking and most importantly in medical field.
In radiology, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to investigate the human body processes and
functions of organisms. In hospitals, this technique has been using widely for medical diagnosis, to find the
disease stage and follow-up without exposure to ionizing radiation.Here in this paper, we proposed a novel
MR brain image segmentation method for detecting the tumor and finding the tumor area with improved
performance over conventional segmentation techniques such as fuzzy c means (FCM), K-means and even
that of manual segmentation in terms of precision time and accuracy. Simulation performance shows that
the proposed scheme has performed superior to the existing segmentation methods.
Brain Tumor Segmentation and Volume Estimation from T1-Contrasted and T2 MRIsCSCJournals
Amid the variations of the cancer disease, brain tumors account for the majority deaths among young people. To diagnose and treat this deadly disease effectively, analysis of hundreds of medical images such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans is usually performed. However, the analyses of these scans are still mainly performed manually, making the procedure not only very tedious and time-consuming for doctors, but also error prone and non-repeatable. Attempts have been made to automate this procedure by performing image processing techniques such as thresholding, region-growing, unsupervised learning (e.g. k-means, fuzzy c-means clustering), and supervised learning (e.g. support vector machines). Some require human interaction. The techniques may be applied on one or more MRI sequence scans. Unfortunately, these automated attempts still result in a high level of error, and more computationally complex algorithms do not guarantee an increase in accuracy. This paper presents a novel, fully automatic brain tumor segmentation and volume estimation method using simple techniques on T1-contrasted and T2 MRIs. This new approach implemented five main steps: preprocessing using anisotropic diffusion, segmentation of tumor regions using k-means clustering, region combination using logical and Morphological operations, error checking using temporal smoothing, and volumetric measurement. When compared with five state-of-the-art algorithms, the proposed algorithm outperformed those in past works. Advances were seen by its noise reduction, increase in accuracy and closeness to actual tumor volume.
MALIGNANT AND BENIGN BRAIN TUMOR SEGMENTATION AND CLASSIFICATION USING SVM WI...sipij
In this article a method is proposed for segmentation and classification of benign and malignant tumor slices in brain Computed Tomography (CT) images. In this study image noises are removed using median and wiener filter and brain tumors are segmented using Support Vector Machine (SVM). Then a two-level discrete wavelet decomposition of tumor image is performed and the approximation at the second level is obtained to replace the original image to be used for texture analysis. Here, 17 features are extracted that 6 of them are selected using Student’s t-test. Dominant gray level run length and gray level co-occurrence texture features are used for SVM training. Malignant and benign tumors are classified using SVM with kernel width and Weighted kernel width (WSVM) and k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) classifier. Classification accuracy of classifiers are evaluated using 10 fold cross validation method. The segmentation results are
also compared with the experienced radiologist ground truth. The experimental results show that the proposed WSVM classifier is able to achieve high classification accuracy effectiveness as measured by sensitivity and specificity.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

The proposed method accurately detects the
tumor and also reduces the time for analysis. At
the end of the process, the tumor is extracted from
the MR image and its size and the shape is also
determined with less user intervention.
II. EXISTING METHODS
A. Existing Segmentation Methods
K- Means clustering
The k-means algorithm assigns each point to
the cluster whose center (also called centroid) is
nearest. The center is the average of all the points
in the cluster that is, its coordinates are
thearithmetic mean for each dimension separately
over all the points in the cluster.
The algorithm steps are:
Choose the number of clusters,k.
Randomly generate k clusters and
determine the cluster centers, or directly
generate k random points as cluster
centers.
Assign each point to the nearest cluster
center.
Recompute the new cluster centers.
Repeat the two previous steps until some
convergence criterion is met (usually that
the assignment hasn't changed).
The main advantages of this algorithm are its
simplicity and speed which allows it to run on
large datasets. Its disadvantage is that it does not
yield the same result with each run, since the
resulting clusters depend on the initial random
assignments. It minimizes intra-cluster variance,
but does not ensure that the result has a global
minimum of variance. Another disadvantage is the
requirement for the concept of a mean to be
definable which the case is not always. For such
datasets the k-medoids variant is appropriate.
Other popular variants of K-means include the
Fast Genetic K-means Algorithm (FGKA) and the
Incremental Genetic K-means Algorithm (IGKA)
Fuzzy C-Means Clustering
In this, the MRI Image data points are processed
by giving the membership value between„0‟to‟1‟ to
each pixel in the image. The membership function
defines the fuzziness of an image and the
information contained in the image. Each Pixel
point has a degree of belongingness to all clusters,
Thus, Pixels on the edge of a cluster may be in the
cluster to a lesser degree than pixels in the center
of the cluster
A degree of coefficient assigned for each pixel point
x, in the cluster. The sum of those coefficients for
any given x is defined to be 1:
With fuzzy c-means, the centroid of a cluster is the
mean of all points, weighted by their degree of
belongingness to the cluster
The degree of belonging is relative to the inverse of
the distance to the cluster center
Then, the coefficients of the pixel are normalized
and fuzzyfied with a real parameter m > 1 so that
their sum is 1. So
For m equal to 2, this is to normalize the coefficient
linearly to make their sum 1. When m is close to 1
then, cluster center closest to the pixel point
having more weight than the other. The fuzzy
C-Means algorithm is more similar to the k-means
algorithm:
1) Initialize number of clusters
3. 50 International Journal for Modern Trends in Science and Technology
Volume: 2 | Issue: 04 | April 2016 | ISSN: 2455-3778IJMTST
2) Assign randomly to each pixel coefficients for
being in the clusters.
3) Repeat until the algorithm has converged (that
is, the coefficients' change between two iterations is
no more than, the given sensitivity threshold)
4) Compute the centroids for each cluster, using
the above formula
5) For each point, compute its coefficients of being
in the clusters, using the above formula.
The Fuzzy C- Means algorithm reduces
intra-cluster variance; the result depends more on
the initial choice of weights. Partial membership in
clusters used in fuzzy-c-means has better
convergence properties.

III. PROPOSED METHOD
This paper proposes a new approach for MRI
brain tumor detection and utilizes Pillar Algorithm
to optimize K-means clustering [6]. The Pillar
algorithm performs the pillars‟ placement which
should be located as far as possible from each
other to withstand against the pressure
distribution of a roof, as identical to the number of
centroids amongst the data distribution. It
designates the initial centroids‟ position by
calculating the accumulated distance metric
between each data point and all previous centroids
and then selects data points which have the
maximum distance asnew initialcentroids.
Thesegmentation process by our approach
includes a new mechanism for clustering the
elements of high-resolution images in order to
improve precision and reduce computation time. It
can improve significantlyperformance of the
information extraction, such as color, shape,
texture and structure. This section describes our
approach for image segmentation.
A. MRI Brain Tumor Detection Using Pillar Algorithm
A Real Patient image is used to obtain high
quality of image segmentation. K-Means Algorithm
is used forclustering huge image data points.
However, because of initial centre points generated
randomly, K-Means algorithm is not favorable to
obtain global Optimum, but only to one of local
minima, which leads to incorrect clustering
results. Barakbah and Helen performed that the
error ratio of K-means is more than 60% for well-
separated datasets. To avoid this phenomenon
initial clusters optimization for K-means using
Pillar algorithm is used here.
The Pillar algorithm is superior for initial
centroids optimization than K-means by
positioning all centroids that are separated far in
the distribution of the data. This algorithm is
proposed by the process of determining a set of
pillars‟ to design a stable house or building. Fig. 3.1
illustrates the location of two, three, and four
pillars, in order to withstand the pressure
distribution of several different roof structures
composed of discrete points. By distributing the
pillars as far as possible from each other within the
pressure distribution of a roof to withstand the
roof‟s pressure and stabilize a house or building.
Therefore, this algorithm designates positions of
initial centroids in the farthest accumulated
distance between them in the data distribution

point) with standing against different pressure
distribution of roofs

Step 5. Calculate the distance between Mean and
Pixels of Input Image
Step 6. Find the pixels which are neighboring to the
pillar and estimate the neighboring boundary
distance
(Nbds).
Step 7. Initialize i = 1: K and Calculate the
Maximum Value using Step 4
Step8. If the maximum value equal to the distance
between mean and pixels of image
Then SX = Union of SX, Maximum value of distance
Else Go to Step 4
Step 9. If
Then C = [C Max Distance Value]
Else Go to Step 7
Step 10. Now Calculate Minimum Distance of D
and Move the Pixel to the relevant pillar
Step 11. Now i= i+1;
However, the high resolution MRI Image data
points take longer time for computation , the 512 *
512 MRI Sample Image 2 is normalized to 256* 256
before applying the pillar algorithm.. This
mechanism is able to improve segmentation results
and make faster computation for the image
segmentation.
B. Feature Extraction
A Binary Mask is applied on the MRI input image.
Grey and white pixels become brightened. The
coefficients of each pixel are compared with the
threshold value. If the value lies within the
threshold value a „Zero‟ is assigned to that
coefficient else a „One‟ is assigned. The FCM output
is the extracted Tumor cluster from the MRI Image.
The magnitude of the coefficients from the
extracted tumor cluster are above the threshold
value. The threshold value is represented as „T‟, the
MRI input image is represented as „f‟ grey level
pixels are represented with „k‟. The threshold value
lies in the grey scale range of „K‟. Each pixel in an
image „f‟‟ is compared with threshold value T. A
binary decision is made to define the value of the
particular pixel in an output binary image „g‟
g (n) = „0‟ if f (n) ≥ T 3.1
=‟1‟ if f (n) < T 3.2
C. Approximate Reasoning
The tumor area is calculated using the
linearization method. The image consists of two
values only i.e. either
gray or white (0 or1). The image size is restricted to
256 x256. The binary image can be represented as
a summation of total number of white and black
pixels.
IV. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS AND ANALYSIS
We have chosen two different MRI Brain tumor
Images for evaluating the performance of Fuzzy C
Means, K- means, Gaussian Kernel FCM and
manually segmented algorithms and compared
the results with the proposed Pillar
K-meansalgorithm for MRI Brain tumor detection.
By comparing the results, it is evident that the
accuracy of determining the area of the actual
tumor by computing the number of tumor related
white pixels significantly improved. The
Computational time is also reduced favorably. The
Fuzzy C means Algorithm used for sample 1 Shows
deviation even from manual segmentation. The
white pixels which are not related to tumor are
also taken into consideration during
Computation. This Drawback was significantly
Minimized by using K- means and completely
reduced with the proposed algorithm with K= 3.
The Sample 2 Results exhibit the advantage of
pillar K- Means Algorithm with significant
accuracy.
In this paper sample used as Primary tumor
images. The actual size i.e. area of tumor should
be estimated to treat the tumor either by using
radiation therapy or chemotherapy and targeted
medical therapy. Fuzzy C-Means, K-Means,
Gaussian Kernel FCM and Pillar K-Means
Algorithms are used to estimate the area of the
tumor. Fuzzy C- Means shows inferior results
than other methods. The Fuzzy C-Means is not

optimize the computation time and hence
improved the precision and enhance the quality

V. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE
There are different types of tumors are available.
They may be as mass in brain or malignant over
the brain. Suppose if it is a mass then K- means
algorithm is enough to extract it from the brain
cells. If there is any noise are present in the MR
image it is removed before the K-means process.
The noise free image is given as an input to the
k-means and tumor is extracted from the MRI
image. And then segmentation using Fuzzy C
means for accurate tumor shape extraction of
malignant tumor and Thresholding of output in
feature extraction. Finally approximate reasoning
for calculating tumor shape and position
calculation. The experimental results are
compared with other algorithms. The proposed
method gives more accurate result.
For treatment of Brain tumor, size and location
of the tumor is to be determined. Fuzzy C-Means,
K-Means, Gaussian Kernel FCM and Pillar
K-Means Algorithms are used to estimate the area
of the tumor. The proposed Pillar K-Means
algorithm has shown better results than the other
methods and is able to optimize the computation
time and hence improved the precision and
enhanced the quality of image segmentation. In
future the location of the tumor may be determined
in addition with the size i.e. area of the tumor and
the location of the tumor is very important for
applying the radiation or chemo therapy. The
K-Means Algorithm accepted in 2012 IEEE
Conference is modified for effective clustering.
In future 3D assessment of brain using 3D
slicers with MATLAB can be developed. At present
we cannot calculate the volume of the tumor
instead we here calculate the area. If in future such
a 3D assessment is made then we can also
measure the volume of the tumor.
