چکیده

The commonly found abnormalities in endoscopic images are cancer tumors, ulcers, bleeding due to internal injuries, etc. Several methods of segmentation are employed in recent past for proper segmentation of such images. Intelligent scissors is one of the tools for segmentation. Here the segmentation of endoscopic images is presented using the intelligent scissors. This method is used to segment the tumor, abnormal regions and cancerous growth in the human esophagus. Several methods implemented in the recent past have yielded good results. But this method is simpler. Here a seed point is selected then the cost matrix is

Accelerating 'Intelligent Scissors' Using Slimmed Graphs

In this paper, we describe an acceleration technique for the semi-automatic image segmentation algorithm, intelligent scissors. Using intelligent scissors, user can accurately and interactively extract the object from the digitized image. However, the original algorithm suffers from slow performance when large images are treated. In practice, pixels within the non-edge regions are seldom involv...

Intelligent segmentation tools

Intelligent Scissors and Intelligent Paint are complementary interactive image segmentation tools that allow a user to quickly and accurately select objects of interest using simple gesture motions with a mouse. With Intelligent Scissors, when the cursor position comes in proximity to an object edge, a live-wire boundary “snaps” to, and wraps around the object of interest. The Intelligent Paint...

Trail-Dependent Intelligent Scissors Based on Multi-Scale Image Segmentation

Image segmentation is a very important topic in computer vision. However, due to the large variation of image content, fully automatic image segmentation for general applications is still an open problem. Therefore, our goal is to develop an interactive image segmentation tool that can accurately extract the desired object boundaries with minimal human efforts. In this paper, we propose a new t...

Segmentation of Axonal Fibres in Tissue Slices

This work focuses on the segmentation of axonal structures in digital images of organotypic slice co-cultures. An image processing chain is presented, which relies on anisotropic diffusion for preprocessing of the images and the intelligent scissors method for segmentation. This method requires manual user interaction to set the starting points. To overcome this drawback, the initial parameters...

Breast abnormalities segmentation using the wavelet transform coefficients aggregation

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the world. The automatic detection of masses in digital mammograms is a challenging task and a major step in the development of breast cancer CAD systems. In this study, we introduce a new method for automatic detection of suspicious mass candidate (SMC) regions in a mammogram. Methods: Mammography is widely used for the early...
