Contrast enhancement boosts cervical cancer classification accuracy in CNNs

A new research paper published on arXiv explores the effectiveness of image preprocessing techniques for improving cervical cancer classification using deep learning models. The study evaluated two methods, a PMD filter for noise reduction and CLAHE for contrast enhancement, across three CNN architectures: ResNet-34, MobileNet-V2, and DenseNet-121. Results indicated that CLAHE significantly boosted classification accuracy for ResNet-34 and DenseNet-121, while the PMD filter showed limited improvement and slightly degraded MobileNet-V2 performance, suggesting contrast enhancement is more beneficial than noise reduction for this task.

IMPACT Demonstrates that contrast enhancement techniques can significantly improve the accuracy of deep learning models in medical image classification tasks.
