The uncontrolled growth of cells in brain regions leads to the tumor regions and these abnormal tumor regions are scanned by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique as an image. This paper proposes random forest classifier based Glioma brain tumor detection and segmentation methodology using feature optimization technique. The texture features are derived from brain MRI image and these derived feature set are now optimized by ant colony optimization algorithm. These optimized set of features are trained and classified using random forest classification method. This classifier classifies the brain MRI image into Glioma or non‐Glioma image based on the optimized set of features. Furthermore, energy‐based segmentation method is applied on the classified Glioma image for segmenting the tumor regions. The proposed methodology for Glioma brain tumor stated in this paper achieves 97.7% of sensitivity, 96.5% of specificity, and 98.01% of accuracy.
