Abstract

A quantum hybrid technique (QHT) that blends the adaptive search capability of the quantum-behaved particle swarm optimisation (QPSO) method with the intuitionistic rationality inherent to traditional fuzzy k-nearest neighbours (Fuzzy k-NN) algorithm is proposed for efficient feature selection and classification of cells in cervical smeared (CS) images. Using a dataset of almost 1000 images, the proposed QHT technique drastically reduces the number of cell features, which leads to an average cell classification accuracy of 90%. This is an average of 7% improvement in the accuracy obtainable without the QPSO feature selection of the proposed QHT technique. With additional modifications, the proposed technique could prove useful in cervical cancer detection and diagnosis.
