One of the most common and curable types of cancer in women is cervical cancer, a common chronic condition. Pap smear images is a common way for screening the cervical cancer. It does not present with symptoms until the disease has advanced stages, cervical cancer cannot be detected in its early stages. Because of this, accurate staging will make it easier to give the patient the right amount of treatment. In this paper proposes the Anisotropic Diffusion Filter has been used to improve the Pap smear image by removing noise and preserving the image's edges. The contrast of a Pap smear image has been enhanced using Histogram Equalization. The enhanced image has been segmented using Improved Weighted Fuzzy C-means clustering to make it easier to identify the effective features. As a result, the effective features are extracted from the segmented region and used by a Restricted Boltzmann Machine classifier based on Deep Learning to classify the cancer. The performance of the proposed cervical cancer detection system can be measured in terms of sensitivity, specificity, F-measure and accuracy. The performance measures for the proposed system can be achieves 95.3% accuracy, 88.6% specificity, 89.13% precision, 88.56% recall, and 89.7% F-measure respectively. Based on simulation results, the proposed method performs better than conventional methods such as RDVLNN, Random Forest (RF), Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) for detecting cervical cancer.
