摘要
To solve the problems of low accuracy and time-consuming and laborious classification of breast pathological images, this paper proposes a method of using a convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify breast pathological images. This method is used to divide pathological images quickly and automatically into the benign and malignant categories. First, the CNN model based on the Inceptionv3 architecture and the transfer learning algorithm are used for pathological image feature extraction; the fully connected layer neural network and the SoftMax function are used for image classification. At the same time, the idea of image partitioning is proposed for high-resolution images. To obtain the final classification result of the image, the classification probability of each block is integrated through three algorithms: summation, product, and maximum. Experiments were carried out on the BreaKHis public dataset, and the accuracy reached 95.0%, 95.1%, 94.1%, and 92.3% respectively on the four magnification coefficients. It shows that the method effectively improves the classification accuracy of breast cancer pathological images. Copyright ©2021 Journal of Harbin Engineering University.
