Segmentation of Soft Tissue Using Texture Features and Gradient Snakes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Snakes have been used extensively in locating object boundaries. However, in the medical imaging field, many organs in close proximity have similar intensity values, limiting the usefulness of snakes in segmentation of abdominal organs. In this paper, we use the gradient vector flow snake to test the benefits of running snakes on texture features from a Markov Random Fields model as opposed to the pixel intensity. Our results show that using Markov Random Fields has a positive effect on the effectiveness of snake.

We investigate the segmentation of high resolution polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) images of urban areas. The segmentation strategy in [1] is applied in this paper. Spectral graph segmentation has the advantage of capturing non-local property. The probabilistic boundaries and patch features are integrated for spectral graph segmentation. Accurate boundaries extraction and efficie...

Introduction: The process of discriminating among benign and malignant hyperplasia begun with subjective methods using light microscopy and is now being continued with computerized morphometrical analysis requiring some features. One of the main features called Volume Percentage of Stroma (VPS) is obtained by calculating the percentage of stroma texture. Currently, this feature is calculated ...
متن کاملColor Invariant Snakes
Snakes provide high-level information in the form of continuity constraints and minimum energy constraints related to the contour shape and image features. These image features are usually based on intensity edges. However, intensity edges may appear in the scene without a material/color transition to support it. As a consequence, when using intensity edges as image features, the image segmenta...
