A Variational Level Set Approach Based on Local Entropy for Image Segmentation and Bias Field Correction
Image segmentation has always been a considerable challenge in image analysis and understanding due to the intensity inhomogeneity, which is also commonly known as bias field. In this paper, we present a novel region-based approach based on local entropy for segmenting images and estimating the bias field simultaneously. Firstly, a local Gaussian distribution fitting (LGDF) energy function is d...
متن کاملA Variational Level Set Approach to Segmentation and Bias Correction of Images with Intensity Inhomogeneity
This paper presents a variational level set approach to joint segmentation and bias correction of images with intensity inhomogeneity. Our method is based on an observation that intensities in a relatively small local region are separable, despite of the inseparability of the intensities in the whole image caused by the intensity inhomogeneity. We first define a weighted K-means clustering obje...
متن کاملA New Variational Level Set Evolving Algorithm for Image Segmentation
Level set methods are the numerical techniques for tracking interfaces and shapes. They have been successfully used in image segmentation. A new variational level set evolving algorithm without re-initialization is presented in this paper. It consists of an internal energy term that penalizes deviations of the level set function from a signed distance function, and an external energy term that ...
متن کاملVariational Level Set Segmentation and Bias Correction of Fused Medical Images
Medical image fusion and segmentation has high impact on the digital image processing due to its spatial resolution enhancement and image sharpening. It has been used to derive useful information from the medical image data that provides the most accurate and robust method for diagnosis. This process is a compelling challenge due to the presence of inhomogeneities in the intensity of images. Fo...
متن کاملSegmentation priors from local image properties: Without using bias field correction, location-based templates, or registration
We present a novel approach for generating information about a voxel's tissue class membership based on its signature--a collection of local image textures estimated over a range of neighborhood sizes. The approach produces a form of tissue class priors that can be used to initialize and regularize image segmentation. The signature-based approach is a departure from current location-based metho...
