摘要

Lung cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide and is responsible for a significant number of cancer-related deaths. Computer-aided diagnosis of lung images helps radiologists to treat the disease effectively. Histopathological image analysis, which is essentially microscopic imaging of lung tissues, is an important diagnostic method for lung cancer. In this paper, we develop a stacking model of deep learning (DL) based architectures to classify lung cancer using histopathological images. Initially, we extract features from three pre-trained NasNetLarge models (with the same architecture), each separately fed with color-transformed histopathological lung images, namely Red-Green-Blue (RGB), Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Key (CMYK), and Luma-Blue minus Luma-Red minus Luma (YCbCr). Then we form a stacked multi-dimensional feature vector as obtained from the three DL models. This feature vector is then used to train a classification model using k-nearest neighbors (KNN). On a publicly available dataset of lung histopathological images, the proposed method achieves a high classification accuracy of 99.80%, for 3-class classification of lung cancer images.
