Robust Brain Segmentation Using Histogram Scale-Space Analysis and Mathematical Morphology
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a robust fully non-supervised method dedicated to the segmentation of the brain in T1-weighted MR images. The first step consists in the analysis of the scale-space of the histogram first and second derivative. We show first that the crossings in scale-space of trajectories of extrema of different derivative orders follow regular topological properties. These properties allow us to design a new structural representation of a 1D signal. Then we propose an heuristics using this representation to infer statistics on grey and white matter grey level values from the histogram. These statistics are used by an improved morphological process combining two opening sizes to segment the brain. The method has been validated with 70 images coming from 3 different scanners and acquired with various MR sequences.

Image Segmentation and Edge Detection via Constrained Diffusion and Adaptive Morphology: a Cnn Approach to Bubble-debris Image Enhancement
In this paper, a cellular neural network (CNN) based locally adaptive scheme is presented for image segmentation and edge detection. It is shown that combining a constrained (linear or nonlinear) diffusion approach with adaptive morphology leads to a robust segmentation algorithm for an important class of image models. These images comprise of simple geometrical objects, each having a homogeneo...

The proposed potato color image segmentation is robust against variation of background, distance and ...
متن کاملFinding face features in color images using fuzzy hit-or-miss transform
This paper considers the problem of finding facial features in frontal color images. For a given image, our method at first detects skin regions on it using color segmentation in a 2D plane of selected color space (HSV, YES, YCrCb or normalized RGB), and after that generates face candidates. Then, we apply methods of fuzzy mathematical morphology to obtain face candidates in order to find a par...
