Abstract:To assist pathologists in diagnosing breast tumors, a method was proposed to automatically recognize and analyze breast pathological images by computers. With BreaKHis as data sample, the improved network model of VGG19A was proposed based on the convolutional neural network model of VGG19. By adding BN algorithm before activation function in convolution layer and adding dropconnect layer in full connection layer, the performance of network model was optimized to improve the recognition accuracy of network model. Considering that the transfer learning method could make the network model learn pathological features more fully, the method was introduced into the training of VGG19A network. The network was applied to the recognition of breast pathological images, and PFTAS+QDA, PFTAS+SVM, PFTAS+RF, SingleTask CNN, AlexNet and VGG19 algorithms were used in comparative experiments. The results show that compared with the existing methods, the proposed method can improve the accuracy and generalization performance of image recognition, which has important practical application value.
