Fast and Accurate Interactive Image Segmentation in the GEOMAP Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although many interactive segmentation methods exists, none can be considered a silver bullet for all clinical tasks. Moreover, incompatible data representations prevent multiple algorithms from being combined as desired. We propose the GeoMap as a unified representation for segmentation results and illustrate how it facilitates the design of an integrated framework for interactive medical image analysis. Results show the high flexibility and performance of the new framework.

متن کاملThe GeoMap: A Unified Representation for Topology and Geometry
We propose the GeoMap abstract data type as a unified representation for image segmentation purposes. It manages both topology (based on XPMaps) and pixel-based information, and its interface is carefully designed to support a variety of automatic and interactive segmentation methods. We have successfully used the abstract concept of a GeoMap as a foundation for the implementation of well-known...

Background: Accurate brain tissue segmentation from magnetic resonance (MR) images is an important step in analysis of cerebral images. There are software packages which are used for brain segmentation. These packages usually contain a set of skull stripping, intensity non-uniformity (bias) correction and segmentation routines. Thus, assessment of the quality of the segmented gray matter (GM), ...

Texture image analysis is one of the most important working realms of image processing in medical sciences and industry. Up to present, different approaches have been proposed for segmentation of texture images. In this paper, we offered unsupervised texture image segmentation based on Markov Random Field (MRF) model. First, we used Gabor filter with different parameters’ (frequency, orientatio...
