Abstract

A hybridized image classification strategy is proposed based on discrete wavelet transform, artificial bee colony (ABC) and extreme learning machine (ELM). The proposed methodology works in three phases: (a) in preprocessing phase, images are decomposed and features are extracted from images using bi-orthogonal wavelet functions; (b) secondly, modified ABC (MABC) optimization algorithm is proposed to determine the optimal parameters such as hidden layer weights and biases to be used by ELM for classification; (c) the ELM in the third phase has been trained and tested with three brain image datasets for different diseases along with normal brain images. The performance recognition of the proposed MABC-ELM in terms of accuracy, rate of per-image classification and speedup has been made with variants of ELM such as ELM, ABC-ELM and MABC-ELM and also with MLPNN, naïve Bayesian, linear regression classifiers. Finally, the percentage of accuracy observed by the proposed MABC-ELM, for acute stroke-speech arrest, glioma and multiple sclerosis datasets, is 90%, 90% and 100% with eight hidden nodes in the ELM architecture, and it can be concluded that MABC-ELM gives better generalization performance, more compact network architecture and the hybridization of ELM with modified ABC is worth investigated.
