Detection of Brain Tumor using GVF and Watershed Segmentation
نویسنده
چکیده
the segmentation of brain tumor on MRI image is complicated and it is very important in medical field. If the segmentation done by expert it will be time consuming to overcome this problem researcher provided an alternative method for this. This is less time consuming in this paper a semi-automatic method is used for brain tumor segmentation by MRI images. This process involves preprocessing in which the contrast enhancement is done first and followed by sobel edge detection and GVF computation[2]. Snakes or active contours are used to mark internal and external marking on MRI image. Adding the prior knowledge model is helpful and iterative watershed is done in MATLAB.

متن کاملSegmentation of Brain Tumor from MRI Image using Gradient Vector Flow
Brain tumor scans are one of the complex segmentation problems. It is not at all easy to extract the tumor affected regions from the surrounding pixels which makes it a really diffi cult aspect for computer aided diagnosis systems. A new vector fi eld analysis of the GVF images for the detection of tumor boundaries has been proposed by the author. The boundary and non-boundary points has been i...

متن کاملBrain Tumor Image Edge & Watershed Segmentation and Denoising Using DWT
Image segmentation is a mechanism used to divide an image into multiple segments. It will make image smooth and easy to evaluate. Segmentation process also helps to find region of interest in a particular image. The main goal is to make image more simple and meaningful. Existing segmentation techniques can’t satisfy all type of images. The scope of the paper is to evaluate the brain tumor image...
