Detection and segmentation the affected brain using ThingSpeak platform based on IoT cloud analysis

Abstract

The world has accelerated around a new industrial revolution called the Internet of Things, as this technology is expected to enter all aspects of industrial life, commercial and civil applications. The Internet of Things stands for highly important applications in the world of medical applications, which is the access to linking all medical clinics in the world into a single network capable of analyzing patient data and presenting it to medical professionals anywhere in the world. One of the medical applications in the Internet of Things is the discovery of a healthy human brain. This work proposes a health care system based on medical image analysis processes in the programmable ThingSpeak platform using MATLAB built into the platform within the cloud. The analysis is done using the MATLAB program within the Windows operating system and then the analysis is performed within ThingSpeak platform. The analysis includes classification process by using SVM classifier linear kernel in which we achieved 99.4% classification rate as well as using RBF kernel, which achieved 98.6% classification accuracy in classifying infected brains from healthy ones and the work was supported by cross validation technology to ensure effective classification accuracy. The patient brain is segmented then the tumor segment is isolated, its area is calculated, and the tumor boundaries are found, based on the k-mean technique, to support the specialist doctor when performing the analysis process in the cloud environment. Through this work we achieved a match in the analysis processes within the local environment, and ThingSpeak platform environment by 100%, and in order to support our work, we have automated the analysis, visualization and data transfer processes within the cloud and MATLAB environment.
