Segmentation of Premolar Based on Geodesic Active Region
نویسنده
چکیده
To find borders between homogeneous regions in the various morphologies, several segmentation resulting from edge-based and region-growing can not produce exactly the same, and a combination of results often work more accurately. Also, clinically usable segmentation for medical imaging requires a high degree of interaction with registration algorithms such as the Insight Toolkit (ITK) and the Visualization Toolkit (VTK). In this paper, we proposed the geodesic active region segmentation to find the inner structure of premolar teeth acquired by microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) scanner. As a result, we discriminated enamel, dentin and pulp zones. Furthermore, we showed that the 3D geometric models of premolar would be useful for the tooth morphology.

Assessment of the Log-Euclidean Metric Performance in Diffusion Tensor Image Segmentation
Introduction: Appropriate definition of the distance measure between diffusion tensors has a deep impact on Diffusion Tensor Image (DTI) segmentation results. The geodesic metric is the best distance measure since it yields high-quality segmentation results. However, the important problem with the geodesic metric is a high computational cost of the algorithms based on it. The main goal of this ...

The stochastic active contour scheme (STACS) is a well-known and frequently-used approach for segmentation of the endocardium boundary in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images. However, it suffers significant difficulties with image inhomogeneity due to using a region-based term based on the global Gaussian probability density functions of the innerouter regions of the active ...
متن کاملUnsupervised Texture Segmentation via Applying Geodesic Active Regions to Gaborian Feature Space
In this paper, we propose a novel variational method for unsupervised texture segmentation. We use a Gabor filter bank to extract texture features. Some of the filtered channels form a multidimensional Gaborian feature space. To avoid deforming contours directly in a vector-valued space we use a Gaussian mixture model to describe the statistical distribution of this space and get the boundary a...

This paper presents a novel variational image segmentation technique that unifies both geodesic active contours and geodesic active regions. The originality of the method is the automatic and dynamic global weighting of the respective local equations of motion. A new stopping function for the geodesic active contours is also introduced, which proves to have a better behavior in the vicinity of ...

In this paper, we propose a novel mathematical model to address segmentation from an aerial and satellite imagery. Segmentation is performed through the consistent recovery of the zero iso-surfaces of a level set function towards image’s foreground (desired object for extraction) and background discrimination. The level set method is embedded in a geodesic active contours variational formulatio...
