Natural computing refers to computational processes observed in nature and human-designed computing inspired by nature. In recent times, data fusion in the healthcare sector becomes a challenging issue, and it needs to be resolved. At the same time, intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is the injury of blood vessels on the brain cells, which is mainly liable for stroke. X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans are widely applied for locating the haemorrhage position and size. Since manual segmentation of the CT scans by planimetry by the use of radiologists is a time-consuming process, deep learning (DL) is used to attain effective ICH diagnosis performance. This paper presents an automated intracerebral haemorrhage diagnosis using fusion-based deep learning with swarm intelligence (AICH-FDLSI) algorithm. The AICH-FDLSI model operates on four major stages namely preprocessing, image segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. To begin with, the input image is preprocessed using the median filtering (MF) technique to remove the noise present in the image. Next, the seagull optimization algorithm (SOA) with Otsu multilevel thresholding is employed for image segmentation. In addition, the fusion-based feature extraction model using the Capsule Network (CapsNet) and EfficientNet is applied to extract a useful set of features. Moreover, deer hunting optimization (DHO) algorithm is utilized for the hyperparameter optimization of the CapsNet and DenseNet models. Finally, a fuzzy support vector machine (FSVM) is applied as a classification technique to identify the different classes of ICH. A set of simulations takes place to determine the diagnostic performance of the AICH-FDLSI model using the benchmark intracranial haemorrhage data set. The experimental outcome stated that the AICH-FDLSI model has reached a proficient performance over the compared methods in a significant way.
