Abstract

Medical imaging has expanded thanks to advances in processing power and advanced image analysis techniques, especially with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which offers comprehensive body scans for diagnosis. This work proposes a simple yet efficient method to use a support vector machine (SVM) to classify HIV neurocognitive MRI pictures into normal and pathological categories. The model consists of four steps: data pre-processing, feature extraction, SVM classification, and model evaluation. To separate desired and undesired elements, such as the scalp and skull, pre-processed images were converted from grayscale to colour using support vector machines. The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) was used in the feature extraction stage to extract image properties. Colour moments (CMs) were then used to optimize the feature collection. Afterwards, the SVM classifier was used to determine the ideal feature set to classify images. For example, a dataset is used for training and testing, with a split ratio of 75% to 25% respectively. The experimental results show that the proposed model has a high classification accuracy of 94.4%
