چکیده

Recently, more and more researchers have been paying close attention to tumor image processing techniques, in which the tumor image segmentation technology is regarded as the absolute research focus. Given that there exist only one tumor image segmentation algorithm, no further high quality three-dimensional slice can be provided for the later reconstruction of the three-dimensional reconstruction of tumor images. In this paper, we propose an improved segmentation algorithm by combining the fuzzy clustering segmentation with the fuzzy edge enhancement. Finally, the experimental results show that the fuzzy clustering segmentation is highly efficient for dealing with the fuzziness and complexity of brain tissues, and the images after the fuzzy clustering segmentation calculated by the edge detection algorithm of fuzzy enhancement have more clear edges, which provides a solid foundation for further 3D processing and finally helps achieve better 3D visualization effect on brain tumors. Our algorithm provides promising application prospect in the field of the medical image processing.

A Novel Spot-Enhancement Anisotropic Diffusion Method for the Improvement of Segmentation in Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis Images, Based on the Watershed Transform Algorithm

Introduction Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DGE) is a powerful technique in proteomics for protein separation. In this technique, spot segmentation is an essential stage, which can be challenging due to problems such as overlapping spots, streaks, artifacts and noise. Watershed transform is one of the common methods for image segmentation. Nevertheless, in 2DGE image segmentation, the no...

Image Segmentation using Improved Imperialist Competitive Algorithm and a Simple Post-processing

Image segmentation is a fundamental step in many of image processing applications. In most cases the image’s pixels are clustered only based on the pixels’ intensity or color information and neither spatial nor neighborhood information of pixels is used in the clustering process. Considering the importance of including spatial information of pixels which improves the quality of image segmentati...
