Micro-vessel Segmentation and Tiny Particle Speed Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
On the basis of the flow feature in the micro blood vessels, a method to track the trace of cell movement was proposed in this paper. The algorithm employed the space domain enhancement, adaptive threshold segmentation techniques. For the sake of calculating blood flow, the active contour-based template matching method was applied to sequential images. The experimental results show that this method can accurately track movement of tiny particles and estimate its moving speed in the micro-blood vessels.

In this paper we consider the problem of blood vessel segmentation in retinal images. After enhancing the retinal image we use green channel of images for segmentation as it provides better discrimination between vessels and background. We consider the negative of retinal green channel image as a topographical surface and extract ridge points on this surface. The points with this property are l...
متن کاملAn Improved Automatic EEG Signal Segmentation Method based on Generalized Likelihood Ratio
It is often needed to label electroencephalogram (EEG) signals by segments of similar characteristics that are particularly meaningful to clinicians and for assessment by neurophysiologists. Within each segment, the signals are considered statistically stationary, usually with similar characteristics such as amplitude and/or frequency. In order to detect the segments boundaries of a signal, we ...
متن کاملRegion-based Vessel Segmentation Using Level Set Framework
This paper presents a novel region-based snake method for vessel segmentation. According to geometric shape analysis of the vessel structure with different scale, an efficient statistical estimation of vessel branches is introduced into the energy objective function, which applies not only the vessel intensity information, but also geometric information of line-like structure in the image. The ...
