extendable of existing data mining technique to image sector. 1.2 APPLICATIONS OF IMAGE MINING- Image mining are used in various fields. Different applications of image are- In field of medical for diagnosing diseases.(such

as Brain tumour) In field of Space Research field. In field of Satellite cloud Imagery (Such as

detecting, copying, an unauthorized image on the internet)

In field of Remote sensing field. In field of wild plant detection (such as egeria

detection). In field of Natural scene recognition In field of Agriculture. In field of educational. In field of industrial work. 1.3 MRI IMAGES- A MRI or Magnetic resonance image is technique which is used to capture a high-resolution image from inside of the human body areas such as brain. A MR image is basically a type of NMR or nuclear magnetic resonance. This NMR is widely used by researchers, chemists in study of molecules and their properties.

Figure 1.3 MRI Images

The technique is called magnetic resonance imaging or MRI instead of nuclear magnetic resonance image or NMR, due to the reason of (PNA) public’s negative associations in late year 1970 [5].

2. EXISTING METHODS Following methods are widely used by various researchers in area of tumor detection and analysis for brain MRI images- 2.1 K-MEANS CLUSTERING- A clustering is a technique which basically divides a collection of data into a small number of areas or groups called as cluster. It’s one of the popular methods is k-means clustering. In clustering by K-Means method, a set of data are partitions into various small k number. This method mainly classifies a data

set into various disjoint clusters denotes by K. A K-Means clustering method mainly consists two phases. First phase mainly calculates the various k-centroids. Another phase (Second phase) of K-Mena selects each point of the cluster which is mainly near to the centroid from the particular data point. Advantages- Clustering by using K-Means have several advantages such as its easy in implement, simple and best for small set. Limitations- The main limitation of K Mean clustering is the quality and type of a final clusters results are totally depends on the type and quality of initial centroid selection. Means if the selections of initial centroid are based on random selection concept than it will generates different outcome results for an initial center. So in this method the initial selection of center should be very carefully by that we can get our desired segmentation.

2.2 IMAGE SEGMENTATION BY

WATERSHED ALGORITHM- The Watershed Transform method uses a unique concept for data and image segmentation. This method uses a new type of area or region growing concept based on an efficient image gradient for processing of various digital images. The main concept behind the Watershed Transform is its visualization process for an image. It uses total three dimensions, in which two are spatial coordinates based and another is based on gray levels. Advantages- Watershed method provides following advantages over various previously developed image segmentation schemes - Watershed method provides closed and connected

regions boundaries in result over existing methods. Various existing edge based methods generates a disconnected boundaries results which mainly required post-processing steps to generate a closed regions.

The boundaries generates by Watershed method as resulting regions are correspond to a contours which mainly appear in the image as obvious contours of objects. This is in contrast to divide and merge algorithm. The first method divides or split the contents and second is finally use to merge them.

In Watershed method the union or sum of all the connected areas or regions are always connected with entire regions.

2.3 GENETIC ALGORITHM- In a Genetic Algorithm, a population of strings called chromosomes which encode candidate solutions to an optimization problem evolves toward better solutions. In GA method the evolution process mainly starts from selection of a population from a randomly generated individual values. In each population generation, only the fitness value is selected. From each of the individual stochastically are selected from the total current population (which is based on their fitness values), and it modified by using GA operators such as crossover and mutation, to or form a new population value. 2.4 FUZZY C-MEAN CLUSTERING Fuzzy C-means is a clustering method which mainly allows various pieces of data or items to relate to two or more than one cluster. This is frequently used in the fields of object recognition, computer vision, and medical image processing. The segmentation results are obtained by using fuzzy classification such as FCM [4]. Unlike the k-means which are a hard classification method mainly allows a data object to strictly belong to the only single cluster. FCM allows a data object or pixel set to relate to various multiple class set without varying their degree of memberships. A FCM algorithm is quite effective for image segmentation. A fuzzy C-Means clustering method also called FCM [1,3] was firstly introduced by researcher Dunn in year 1974 and later it was extended by researcher Bezdek in year 1981. This algorithm is mainly an iterative data clustering method, which produces an efficient optimal C-partition by minimizing the various weights within the sum of squared error objective function. 3. PROBLEM STATEMENT An image mining is a vast area for research. Image mining methods are widely using by researchers in processing of medical based images such as MRI. Segmentation of MRI images encounters with several issues. A MR image mainly exists in the homogeneous aspects of image pixels in various imaging areas. It makes quite difficult to gather correct and accurate information from MRI data set. A MR image is basically contents abnormal and normal area captured for brain or any other body internal parts. MR image contents pixel sets for soft

tissue like as brain tissue or a liver tissue. For MR images, any homogeneous requirement or aspects of pixels makes the image segmentation method fail or unsuccessful with the entire MRI image, so the result for one image might be different from another image. Another difficulties or challenge in existing image processing and mining method is its poor detection quality, poor ratio and detection time for area. Existing image mining researchers were investigates their research by using existing frameworks and method. The following problems are faced by the existing system- Poor detection rate Poor detection time Results are not accurate Growth rate and volume are not correct 4. PROPOSED METHOD In this image mining research work, we are presenting a new hybrid image mining (HIM) model for MRI Image processing. The proposed HIMT method uses combined strategy of Fuzzy C-Mean clustering, SVM classifier with Genetic algorithm. Proposed method uses total three phases for tumour detection from various MRI images (figure 4.1) describes the complete phases-

Figure 4.1 proposed HIMT model

The main key feature of proposed HIMT model is it assigns two or more than two clusters efficiently as compared to a K-means method. In k-mean method data point must exclusively belong to one cluster center and genetic algorithm is used as and optimization tool which helps to achieve results in less time.

In Genetic algorithm each of the chromosomes in the complete population of GA encodes a possible partition or clustering of the image set and the complete goodness of the chromosome is computed by using a fitness function. The main logic behind the integration are to reduce the total number of iterations or round done by variable initialization from the correct cluster centers to a correct Fuzzy C-means clustering method, it minimizes the total execution time and provides qualitative results. 4.1 PROPOSED HIMT ALGORITHM- HIMT Algorithm for Tumour Detection from MRI Images- Input- Set of MRI tumour Images The input image F(i, j), where i, j are the pixel coordinates in the image.

CONCLUSIONS & FUTURE WORKS In this complete research work of image mining, we have presented a new hybrid model for image mining technique (called as HIMT) for MRI medical images, to detect tumour more efficiently and accurately. The above results clearly show that, proposed HIMT method performs outstanding over existing (K-Means+ GA) based method. For future work, the set of (for different age group patients) brain medical images should be increases and use the real ones. By increasing the various number of image set, more training data set can be performed upgrade the system to the application for different size brain medical images slice. By doing this, the same area of the tumor but in the different slice of brain medical image can be determined. Also more no of feature can be extracted from images by using the 3-D slice for tumor detection.
