Detection of Oral Tumor based on Marker – Controlled Watershed Algorithm
نویسنده
چکیده
Oral cancer is a significant health problem throughout the world. It is very important to detect such types of cancer at an earlier stage than the later stage where the treatment becomes unsuccessful. Early detection helps surgeons to provide necessary therapeutic measures which also benefit the patients. In this paper, a technique is proposed to detect cancers present in mouth provided by an Orthopantomogram. A novel mathematical morphological watershed algorithm is proposed to preserve these edge details as well as prominent ones to identify tumors in dental radiographs. Applying watershed on images leads to oversegmentation even though it is preprocessed. To avoid this, Marker Controlled Watershed segmentation is used to segment tumors. The results obtained are quite good and were tested.

متن کاملSegmentation of Medical Image using Clustering and Watershed Algorithms
Problem statement: Segmentation plays an important role in medical imaging. Segmentation of an image is the division or separation of the image into dissimilar regions of similar attribute. In this study we proposed a methodology that integrates clustering algorithm and marker controlled watershed segmentation algorithm for medical image segmentation. The use of the conservative watershed algor...
