Shrnutí:In the field of computer assisted diagnosis, classification of tumours using lightweight machine learning algorithms require a complete detection chain of pattern recognition process. The diagnosis system can be made portable by using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) which accommodates the capabilities of high speed parallel processing. This work proposes the design of a lightweight custom Intellectual Property (IP) core on FPGA to discriminate brain tumours into benign and malignant categories. The framework of the proposed IP core is initiated by a preprocessing module to get a clear outline of tumours. Following this preprocessing step, a dual-stack Reduced Convolutional Autoencoder (RCA) unit is coupled with a linear Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. The proposed RCA unit extracts a set of 64 numbers of significant feature maps which in turn eliminate the necessity of deep learning based complex classifiers. This IP core has been tested and validated by the standard benchmark datasets of brain tumours and we have found the overall accuracy of 98.77 % using only 3.08 % of available resources in the FPGA board. Further, inclusion of loop unrolling optimization technique boosts up its pipeline processing power. In this view, the customized design of such lightweight embedded IP core is able to resolve the challenges of achieving high quality results in a resource/power constrained environment.
