Breast MRI is time time-consuming process that involves the assessment of current imaging. This research work depends on the detection of breast cancer at the earlier stages. Among various cancers, breast cancer in women occurs in larger accounts for almost 30% of estimated cancer cases. In this research, many steps are followed for breast cancer detection like pre-processing, segmentation, augmentation, extraction of features, and cancer detection. Here, the median filter is utilized for pre-processing, as well as segmentation is followed after pre-processing, which is done by Psi-Net. Moreover, the process of augmentation like shearing, translation, and cropping are followed after segmentation. Also, the segmented image tends to process feature extraction, where features like shape features, Completed Local Binary Pattern (CLBP), Pyramid Histogram of Oriented Gradients (PHOG), and statistical features are extracted. Finally, breast cancer is detected using the DL model, SqueezeNet. Here, the newly devised Flamingo Search SailFish Optimizer (FSSFO) is used in training Psi-Net as well as SqueezeNet.
