Project Description
Project Overview
Cervical Cancer is extremely severe and to detect and classify it without any error is very crucial. In this project, you will learn to implement a working model for cervical cancer detection using deep learning. We'll show you how to do this on Google Colab from its computing capabilities. Also, you will learn how to work with an external dataset, process the data for the tasks, and include visualization for the assessment of the model's performance.
By the end of this project, you will have a complete application that can receive medical images and output an appropriate type of cervical cancer. Imagine having the ability for AI to assist a doctor in less than 5 minutes. Cervical cancer diagnosis using AI is the future that we are looking forward to today.
Prerequisites
Before we jump into the code, here's what you'll need:
-
An understanding of Python programming and usage of Google Colab
-
Basic knowledge about deep learning and medical images.
-
Comfortable using frameworks like Tensorflow, Keras, Numpy, OpenCV, and Seaborn to handle data and build models and visualize data and performance of models
-
The cervical cancer dataset consists of images labeled corresponding to the types.
Do not stress if you are new to the deep learning world. This project breaks down complex deep-learning tasks in a simple way.
Approach
The process is aimed at developing an accurate Cancer detection CNN model in the following order:
-
Data Preprocessing: Here we have to prepare our dataset for feeding the model. We applied resizing, normalizing techniques.
-
Model design: Propose the architecture of CNN including the layers. Which would be able to extract relevant fields from the given images.
-
Training & Evaluation: Train the model and check how well the model works in real-time.
Data Collection
Data is the backbone of any such work. While carrying out cervical cancer, we used a cervical cancer dataset from Kaggle consisting of a variety of countries' cervical cell images. The data was then used to create the main training set and the validation set for training and testing purposes respectively.
Data Preparation
The images were also preprocessed by using OpenCV to re-sized the images to a standard size of 128 x 128 pixels.
Data Preparation Workflow
-
Resize Images: Adjustment of image size to a particular standard.
-
Normalization: Scale the pixel values between 0 and 1.

Our Cervical Cancer Analysis project leverages the power of EfficientNetB0 to accurately classify different types of cervical cells. This initiative aims to enhance early cancer detection and improve patient outcomes through advanced AI technology.
