Abstract: The detection of brain tumour at final stage is difficult to heal and the diagnosis of brain tumour from large image database is difficult. Due to the various sizes, shapes, and locations of tumours in the brain, the present techniques are insufficient to give precise classification. Hence, an effective model for classifying and segmenting brain tumours is developed in this study using the circle inspired teaching learning optimisation method (CITLO). During the first step, an input MRI image from a dataset is obtained, and the obtained image is supplied into the pre-processing module. Following that, SegNet, which is trained using CITLO, is employed for tumour segmentation. The brain tumour classification process employs deep convolutional neural network (DCNN), with classifier hyper parameters learned using CITLO. The CITLO_DCNN attained a maximum accuracy of 95.8%, a sensitivity of 96.9%, a specificity of 96.6%, a maximum segmentation accuracy of 95.7%, and ROC of 93.1%.
