Medical Image Segmentation by Transferring Ground Truth Segmentation Based upon Top down and Bottom up Approach

چکیده
In this paper, we present a novel method for image segmentation of the hip joint structure. The key idea is to transfer the ground truth segmentation from the database to the test image. The ground truth segmentation of MR images is done by medical experts. The process includes the top down approach which register the shape of the test image globally and locally with the database of train images. The goal of top down approach is to find the best train image for each of the local test image parts. The bottom up approach replaces the local test parts by best train image parts, and inverse transform the best train image parts to represent a test image by the mosaic of best train image parts. The ground truth segmentation is transferred from best train image parts to their corresponding location in the test image.

Automatic Segmentation of Dynamic Objects from an Image Pair
Automatic segmentation of objects from a single image is a challenging problem which generally requires training on large number of images. We consider the problem of automatically segmenting only the dynamic objects from a given pair of images of a scene captured from different positions. We exploit dense correspondences along with saliency measures in order to first localize the interest poin...
متن کاملUnlevel-Sets: Geometry and Prior-Based Segmentation
We present a novel variational approach to top-down image segmentation, which accounts for significant projective transformations between a single prior image and the image to be segmented. The proposed segmentation process is coupled with reliable estimation of the transformation parameters, without using point correspondences. The prior shape is represented by a generalized cone that is based...
متن کاملPseudo Mask Augmented Object Detection
In this work, we present a novel and effective framework to facilitate object detection with the instance-level segmentation information that is only supervised by bounding box annotation. Starting from the joint object detection and instance segmentation network, we propose to recursively estimate the pseudo ground-truth object masks from the instance-level object segmentation network training...
متن کاملLearning to Segment
We describe a new approach for learning to perform classbased segmentation using only unsegmented training examples. As in previous methods, we first use training images to extract fragments that contain common object parts. We then show how these parts can be segmented into their figure and ground regions in an automatic learning process. This is in contrast with previous approaches, which req...
متن کاملShape Based Detection Using Image Segments
We introduce a segmentation-based detection and top-down figure-ground delineation algorithm. Unlike common methods which use appearance for detection, our method relies primarily on the shape of objects as is reflected by their bottom-up segmentation. Our algorithm receives as input an image, along with its bottom-up hierarchical segmentation. The shape of each segment is then described both b...
