Abstract

Screening of breast cancer from histology images is a popular research problem in medical imaging. Most of the methods in recent days used deep learning models for predicting the same. But, at times, such methods dealt with not only higher-dimensional features but also may suffer from containing irrelevant and sometimes redundant features. To overcome this shortcoming, in the present work, we employ a popularly used particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to obtain the near-optimal feature set. To extract the features from images we first preprocess the images to obtain stain normalized images and then pass them through a pre-trained MobileNet model for extracting the features. We have evaluated our model on a recent dataset, published through ICIAR BACH 2018 grand challenge. The experimental results show an improvement of 6.25% recognition accuracy with around 54% reduced features. We have also compared our result with two state-of-the-art CNN models: InceptionResNet and DenseNet, and we found that the use of MobileNet is better. The capability of the present model is comparable with some state-of-the-art methods on the BACH dataset.
