Segmentation of complementary DNA microarray images using the Fuzzy Gaussian Mixture Model technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this work was to investigate the segmentation ability of the Fuzzy Gaussian Mixture Models (FGMM) clustering algorithm, applied on complementary DNA (cDNA) images. A Simulated Microarray image of 200 cells, each containing one spot, was produced following standard established procedure. An automatic gridding process was developed and applied on the microarray image for the task of locating spot borders and surrounding background in each cell. The FGMM and the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) algorithms were applied to each cell, with the purpose of discriminating foreground from background. The segmentation abilities of both algorithms were evaluated by means of the segmentation matching factor in respect to the actual classes (foreground-background pixels) of the simulated spots. The FGMM was found to perform better and with equal processing time, as compared to the GMM, rendering the FGMM algorithm an efficient alternative for segmenting cDNA microarray images.

In the present study, an adaptation of the Markov Random Field (MRF) segmentation model, by means of the stationary wavelet transform (SWT), applied to complementary DNA (cDNA) microarray images is proposed (WMRF). A 3-level decomposition scheme of the initial microarray image was performed, followed by a soft thresholding filtering technique. With the inverse process, a Denoised image was crea...
متن کاملSegmentation of Brain MR Images based on Finite Skew Gaussian Mixture Model with Fuzzy C-Means Clustering and EM Algorithm
Segmentation is a process of converting inhomogeneous data into homogeneous data. There are many segmentation techniques available inthe literature. Among these techniques, finite Gaussian Mixture Model using EM algorithm is one mostly used. However, Gaussian Mixture Model is suited well when the image under consideration is symmetric. But in reality, medical images are asymmetric. Hence, it is...

The goal of image segmentation is to cluster the pixels of an image into several regions. This article describes the method of image segmentation using Artificial Bee Colony Optimization (ABC). This optimization technique is motivated by intelligent behaviour of honey bees and it provides a population based search procedure. In this article Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is used and each pixel cl...
