Abstract

This paper addresses the Brain MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) classification problem from a new point of view. Indeed, most of the works reported in the literature follow the subsequent methodology: 1) Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) application, 2) sub-band selection, 3) feature extraction, and 4) learning. Consequently, those methods are limited by the information contained on the selected DWT outputs (sub-bands). This paper addresses the possibility of creating new suitable DWT sub-bands (by combining the classical DWT sub-bands) using Genetic Programming (GP) and a Random Forest (RF) classifier. These could be employed to efficiently address different classification scenarios (normal versus pathological, one versus all, and even multiclassification) as well as other automatic tasks.
