Tissue probability map constrained 4D clustering algorithm for increased accuracy and robustness in SerialMR brain image segmentation
The traditional fuzzy clustering algorithm and its extensions have been successfully applied in medical image segmentation. However, because of the variability of tissues and anatomical structures, the clustering results might be biased by the tissue population and intensity differences. For example, clustering-based algorithms tend to over-segment white matter tissues of MR brain images. To so...
متن کاملAgglomerative connectivity constrained clustering for image segmentation
We consider the problem of clustering under the constraint that data points in the same cluster are connected according to a pre-existed graph. This constraint can be efficiently addressed by an agglomerative clustering approach, which we exploit to construct a new fully automatic segmentation algorithm for color photographs. For image segmentation, if the pixel grid with eight neighbor connect...
متن کاملBrain tissue MR-image segmentation via optimum-path forest clustering
We present an accurate and fast approach for MR-image segmentation of brain tissues, that is robust to anatomical variations and takes an average of less than one minute for completion on modern PCs. The method first corrects voxel values in the brain based on local estimations of the whitematter intensities. This strategy is inspired by other works, but it is simple, fast, and very effective. ...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Clustering Algorithm For Image Segmentation
The problem of segmenting images of objects with smooth surfaces is considered. The algorithm we present is a generalization of the ,K-means clustering algorithm to include spatial constraints and to account for local intensity variations in the image. Spatial constraints are included by the use of a Gibbs random field model. Local intensity variations are accounted for in a n iterative procedu...
متن کاملAnt Colony Clustering Algorithm and Improved Markov Random Fusion Algorithm in Image Segmentation of Brain Images
New medical imaging technology, such as Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), has been widely used in all aspects of medical diagnosis. The purpose of these imaging techniques is to obtain various qualitative and quantitative data of the patient comprehensively and accurately, and provide correct digital information for diagnosis, treatment planning and evaluation after surg...
