Abstract: The procedure of separating the tumor from ordinary cerebrum images is called as brain tumor Segmentation . In segmenting the tumor it allows us to visualize the size and position of tumor within the brain.In Manual segmentation there is less accuracy so there is a need for fully automatic segmentation. A fully automatic segmentation called Semantic segmentation is a technique that classifies all the pixels of an image into meaningful classes of objects. Semantic Segmentation is mainly used in the area of medical imaging. It is mainly used for the doctors to identify the tumor in a clear and exact way. In this paper, we propose a new way of semantic segmentation technique to separate the tumor from the brain . The methods like Segnet, FCN, PSPNET are used for fully automatic segmentation and are used to predicate all types of Tumor. These methods are used to predicate the tumor.Our paper proposes a new architecture called FCPPNET which is a hybrid combination of FCN and PSPNET. Our proposed strategy is assessed utilizing Performance measurements, for example, the Dice coefficient, Accuracy, Sensitivity, and the outcomes appear to be more productive than the current strategies.
