Intrathoracic Airway Tree Segmentation from CT Images Using a Fuzzy Connectivity Method
Introduction: Virtual bronchoscopy is a reliable and efficient diagnostic method for primary symptoms of lung cancer. The segmentation of airways from CT images is a critical step for numerous virtual bronchoscopy applications. Materials and Methods: To overcome the limitations of the fuzzy connectedness method, the proposed technique, called fuzzy connectivity - fuzzy C-mean (FC-FCM), utilized...

متن کاملSegmentation of Face Images
Since the introduction of electronic personal documents in recent years the analysis of passport photographs has become an important field of research. Such photographs have to fulfill a set of minimal quality requirements defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). As some of the specified requirements are related to certain image regions only, these regions must be locate...
متن کاملSegmentation and Estimation of Lung Structures for Ventilation and Perfusion Analysis
In this work, methods for the segmentation of lung structures in multispectral cryomicrotome images of rat lungs are developed and investigated. Specifically, different approaches to segment/estimate supply regions of airway subtrees are presented. In addition, functional units of the lung are segmented utilizing ventilation images. The presented work facilitates the calculation of local ventil...
متن کاملAxon tracking in serial block-face scanning electron microscopy
Electron microscopy is an important modality for the analysis of neuronal structures in neurobiology. We address the problem of tracking axons across large distances in volumes acquired by serial block-face scanning electron microscopy (SBFSEM). Tracking, for this application, is defined as the segmentation of an axon that spans a volume using similar features between slices. This is a challeng...
