One of the most common cancers of the lower female reproductive tract is cervical cancer and it is a major contributor of mortality in developing nations. Screening tests include image analysis of pap smear and colposcope pictures. In image analysis, machine learning techniques can be employed to analyze and interpret images of the cervix through segmentation and extraction of characteristics for the classification of cervix images. K-means algorithm and Gaussian mixture model are popular segmentation algorithms used in cervix region-of-interest extraction. In the context of deep network learning, segmentation means the use of deep convolution networks to accurately identify different objects or regions in an image. R-CNN and Deeplab architectures are among the most frequently employed models in deep learning for automated cervix image processing. In this paper, we have systematically reviewed machine and deep learning models popularly employed in cervical cancer identification through colposcope images. Four carefully chosen models were deployed, and their performance was comparatively analyzed. This research can be a foundation for scientists looking to develop new models for the classification and segmentation of cervical cancer.
