Brain tumors pose a serious health threat due to their rapid growth and potential for metastasis. While medical imaging has advanced significantly, accurately identifying and characterizing these tumors remains a challenge. This study addresses this challenge by leveraging the innovative TrAdaBoost methodology to enhance the Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS2020) dataset, aiming to improve the efficiency and accuracy of brain tumor classification. Our approach combines state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms, including the Vision Transformer (ViT), Capsule Neural Network (CapsNet), and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) such as ResNet-152 and VGG16. By integrating these models within a multi-classifier framework, we harness the strengths of each approach to achieve more robust and reliable tumor classification. A novel decision template is employed to synergistically combine outputs from different algorithms, further enhancing classification accuracy. To augment the training process, we incorporate a secondary dataset, "Brain Tumor MRI Dataset," as a source domain, providing additional data for model training and improving generalization capabilities. Our findings demonstrate a high accuracy rate in classifying tumor versus non-tumor images, signifying the effectiveness of our approach in the medical imaging domain. This study highlights the potential of advanced machine learning techniques to contribute significantly to the early and accurate diagnosis of brain tumors, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
