Unsupervised Segmentation of Predefined Shapes in Multivariate Images
نویسنده
چکیده
Fuzzy C-means (FCM) is an unsupervised clustering technique and is often used for the unsupervised segmentation of multivariate images. In traditional FCM the clustering is based on spectral information only and geometrical relationship between neighbouring pixels is not used in the clustering procedure. In this paper, the Spatially Guided FCM (SGFCM) algorithm is presented which segments multivariate images by incorporating both spatial and spectral information. Spatial information is described by a geometrical shape description and can vary from a local neighbourhood to a more extended shape model such as the hough circle detection. A modified FCM objective function uses the spatial information as described by the shape model. This results in a segmented image in which the construction of the cluster prototypes is influenced by spatial information. The performance of Spatially Guided FCM is compared with both FCM and the sequence of FCM and a majority filter. The SGFCM segmented image shows more homogeneous regions and less spurious

Mass spectrometry imaging is a powerful tool for investigating the spatial distribution of chemical compounds in a biological sample such as tissue. Two common goals of these experiments are unsupervised segmentation of images into newly discovered homogeneous segments and supervised classification of images into predefined classes. In both cases, the important secondary goals are to characteri...
