A Brain Extraction Method using Contour and Morphological Operations
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we prepare segmenting the brain portion Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI). In our method, we first find the threshold using Riddler’s method and convert gray image to binary image. The head boundaries are detected by using contour of the head. By subtracting, we detect the scalp and remove it. We perform morphological operation to disconnect the non-brain region. Finally, by applying the largest connected component method we devise an exact brain mask. Using the brain mask the brain portion can be obtained.

An Approach for Detection of the Components in Brain MRI Using Vector Quantization and Morphological Operations based Segmentation
Image segmentation is a technique in image processing where an image is divided into meaningful structures to simplify its representation. Vector quantization helps to map the continuous pixel of input space to discrete pixels in the output image. Here the advantage is to minimize the information loss. The approach in this paper focuses on the spatial as well as the gray level value of the imag...
متن کاملAn Implementation of Automatic Contour Line Extraction from Scanned Digital Topographic Maps
This paper proposes a method of implementation of automatic contour line extraction from scanned digital topographic maps. First, color image segmentation is executed to recognize the features on digital topographic maps, second, morphological and filtering operations are presented to eliminate all unwanted information from digital topographic map except from contour lines. Then, resolving the ...
متن کامل3D Brain Tumor Segmentation Using Fuzzy Classification and Deformable Models
A new method that automatically detects and segments brain tumors in 3D MR images is presented. An initial detection is performed by a fuzzy possibilistic clustering technique and morphological operations, while a deformable model is used to achieve a precise segmentation. This method has been successfully applied on five 3D images with tumors of different sizes and different locations, showing...
متن کاملA Probabilistic Approach for Breast Boundary Extraction in Mammograms
The extraction of the breast boundary is crucial to perform further analysis of mammogram. Methods to extract the breast boundary can be classified into two categories: methods based on image processing techniques and those based on models. The former use image transformation techniques such as thresholding, morphological operations, and region growing. In the second category, the boundary is e...
متن کاملThrombus Detection from Echocardiographic Images Using Image Processing Techniques
Image processing is a powerful tool for increasing the reliability and reproducibility of disease diagnostics. In the hands of pathologists, image processing provides quantitative data from histological images which supplement the qualitative data currently used by specialists. This paper presents the method for analysing digitized images of echocardiography and detect some of the basic disease...
