Image differencing is usually done by subtracting the low-level skin texture like strength
in images that are already associated. This paper extracts high-level skin texture in order to find out
an efficient image differencing method for the analysis of Brain Tumor. On the other hand, this
produces sets of skin texture that are both spatial. We demonstrate a technique that avoids arbitrary
spatial constraints and is robust in the presence of sound, outliers, and imaging artifact, while
outperforming even profitable products in the analysis of Brain Tumor images. First, the landmark
are establish, and then the top entrant are sorted into a end set. Second, the top sets of the two
descriptions are then differenced through a cluster judgment. The symmetry of the human body is
utilized to increase the accuracy of the finding. We imitate this technique in an effort to understand
and ultimately capture the judgment of the radiologist. The image differencing with clustered
contrast process determines the being there of Brain Tumor. Using the most favorable features
extracted from normal and tumor regions of MRI by using arithmetical features, classifiers are used
to categorize and segment the tumor portion in irregular images. Both the difficult and preparation

Performance Evaluation of Basic Segmented Algorithms for Brain Tumor DetectionIOSR Journals
In the field of computers segmentation of image plays a very important role. By this method the required
portion of object is traced from the image. In medical image segmentation, clustering is very famous
method . By clustering, an image is divided into a number of various groups or can also be called as clusters.
There are various methods of clustering and thresholding which have been proposed in this paper such as otsu
, region growing , K Means , fuzzy c means and Hierarchical self organizing mapping algorithm. Fuzzy c-means
(FCM) is a method of clustering which allows one piece of data to belong to two or more clusters. This method
(developed by Dunn in 1973 and improved by Bezdek in 1981) is frequently used in pattern recognition. As
process of fuzzy c mean is too slow, this drawback is then removed. In this paper by experimental analysis and
performance parameters the segmentation of hierarchical self organizing mapping method is done in a better
way as compared to other algorithms. The various parameters used for the evaluation of the performance are as follows: segmentation accuracy (Sa) , area (A), rand index (Ri),and global consistency error (Gce)
IRJET- Brain Tumor Detection and Classification with Feed Forward Back Propag...IRJET Journal
This document presents a method for detecting and classifying brain tumors in MRI images using a feed forward back propagation neural network. It first preprocesses MRI images by dividing them into blocks and applying Haar transforms for noise removal and edge preservation. Statistical, GLCM, morphological and edge features are then extracted from each block. These features are used to identify abnormal areas. The blocks are then classified as normal or tumor using a feed forward back propagation neural network, which can model nonlinear relationships and is trained to reduce error rates. The method achieves 98% classification accuracy on a benchmark MRI dataset. It results in high accuracy tumor detection with less iterations, reducing computation time compared to previous methods.
SVM Classifiers at it Bests in Brain Tumor Detection using MR Imagesijtsrd
This paper presents some case study frameworks to limelight SVM classifiers as most efficient one compared to existing classifiers like Otsu, k-means and fuzzy c-means. In general, Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MR) are more dominant imaging technique for any brain lesions detection like brain tumor, Alzheimer' disease and so on. MR imaging takes a lead technically for imaging medical images due to its possession of large spatial resolution and provides better contrast for the soft tissues like white matter (WM), gray matter (GM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The usual method used for classification of lesions in brain images consists of pre-processing, feature extraction, feature reduction and classification. Early detection of the tumor region without much time lapse in computation can be achieved by using efficient SVM classifier model. Brain tumor grade classifications with the assistance of morphologically selected features are extracted and tumor classification is attained using SVM classifier. The assessment of SVM classifications are evaluated through metrics termed as sensitivity, exactness and accuracy of segmentation. These measures are then compared with existing methods to exhibit the SVM classifier as significant classifier model.

The prosecution lost the Michael Jackson trial due to several key mistakes and weaknesses in their case:
1) The lead prosecutor, Thomas Sneddon, was too personally invested in the case against Jackson, having pursued him for over a decade without success.
2) Sneddon's opening statement was disorganized and weak, failing to effectively outline the prosecution's case.
3) The accuser's mother was not credible and damaged the prosecution's case through her erratic testimony, history of lies and con artist behavior.
4) Many prosecution witnesses were not credible due to prior lawsuits against Jackson, debts owed to him, or having been fired by him. Several witnesses even took the Fifth Amendment.

3.3 Learning object classification rules
The purpose of object learning is to generate rules for
anatomic classification of image segments. The
decision tree learning is performed on the training data
that is represented by low-level features. For each
object, contour length, brightness, area, center,
extrusion, roundness and MBR(minimum bounding
rectangle) are used as low-level features as shown in Figure 3. Examples of segmented objects
Table 1. The equations for computing extrusion and and object classification rules
