The use of medical image processing has increased, which has resulted in the need for more precise and faster brain tumor segmentation. Magnetic resonance imaging is a powerful tool for analyzing brain tumors.This paper proposes a framework that can help in performing this process.The analysis of brain tumors using T1-weighted MRI images begins with optimized skull stripping to improve tissue visibility and boundary accuracy. Low contrast is utilized to extract the anomalous brain tissues. These edges are precisely identified.The first step in the process is to perform feature extraction using the Local Binary Pattern and Principal Component Analysis.Classification is then carried out using the support vector machine learning approach. This process involves using various learning methods, such as machine learning. The classification's accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity are then measured and compared. It has an accuracy of 99.81 percent, an error rate of 1.54 percent, a TPR of 98.99 percent, a TNR of 98.12 percent, a precision of 97.63 percent, and an F1-score of 97.82 percent.
