Abstract

This study addresses the critical role of medical image classification in enhancing healthcare effectiveness and tackling the challenges of imbalanced medical datasets. It focuses on optimizing classification performance by integrating Canny edge detection for segmentation and Hu-moment feature extraction and applying oversampling and undersampling techniques. Five diverse medical datasets were utilized, covering Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, COVID-19, brain tumours, and lung cancer. The K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN) algorithm was implemented to enhance classification accuracy, aiming to develop a more robust framework for medical image analysis. The evaluation, conducted using cross-validation, demonstrated notable improvements in key metrics. Specifically, oversampling significantly enhanced lung cancer detection accuracy, while undersampling contributed to balanced performance gains in the COVID-19 class. Metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, provided insights into the model’s effectiveness. These findings highlight the positive impact of data balancing techniques on K-NN performance in imbalanced medical image classification. Continued research is essential to refine these techniques and improve medical diagnostics.
