Medical image segmentation is a technique for detecting boundaries in a 2D or 3D image automatically or semiautomatically. The enormous range of the medical image is a considerable challenge for image segmentation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to aid in the detection and existence of brain tumors. This approach, however, requires exact delineation of the tumor location inside the brain scan. To solve this, an optimization algorithm will be one of the most successful techniques for distinguishing pixels of interest from the background, but its performance is reliant on the starting values of the centroids. The primary goal of this work is to segment tumor areas within brain MRI images. After converting the gray MRI image to a color image, a multiobjective modified ABC algorithm is utilized to separate the tumor from the brain. The intensity determines the RGB color generated in the image. The simulation results are assessed in terms of performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, specificity, recall, F-measure, and the time in seconds required by the system to segment the tumor from the brain. The performance of the proposed algorithm is computed with other algorithms like the single-objective ABC algorithm and multiobjective ABC algorithm. The results prove that the proposed multiobjective modified ABC algorithm is efficient in analyzing and segmenting the tumor from brain images.
