Abstract: Cervical cancer is screened in women patients using either Pap smear cell testing or the Cervigram analysis method. The most dominant accuracy has been obtained for the cervical cancer earlier detection system through the analysis of Pap smear cell images. In this article, they are automatically classified using the proposed hybrid convolutional neural networks (HCNN) structure. This classification system consists of enhancement, along with data augmentation and classification with the nucleus segmentation. The adaptive histogram equalisation enhancement algorithm enhances the image as a preprocessing method, and the imaging count is increased using the data augmentation method for obtaining a higher classification rate. The data-augmented images are further classified into four cases (normal, dysplasia, carcinoma in situ (CiS) and superficial) using the proposed hybrid CNN structure. Then, the dilation-erosion method was used to obtain the abnormal pixels in classified Pap smear cell images. Further, the morphological features are computed from the segmented nucleus region and are classified into either 'moderate' or 'severe' based on the computed features. The average diagnosis rate for dysplasia cell images is 90.4%. The average diagnosis rate for dysplasia cell images is 94.2%, and the average diagnosis rate for dysplasia cell images is 89.6%. From these extensive experimental results, the proposed methods are more suitable for a fully automated cervical cancer detection system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
