Brain tumor is unrestrained growth of cells in Brain. These cells prove to be lethal when transformed into tumor. The objective of this paper is to classify and detect the tumor from Magnetic Resonant Images (MRI) of Brain. Also, the paper targets at calculating the area of the tumor. Here, first the segmentation of Brain MR Images is done by RGB Thresholding technique followed by feature extractionand then classifying the Tumor by using Fuzzy Classifier.
