A Wide Spread of Algorithms for Automatic Segmentation of Dermoscopic Images

چکیده
Currently, there is a great interest in the development of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems for dermoscopic images. The segmentation step is one of the most important ones, since its accuracy determines the eventual success or failure of a CAD system. In this paper, different kinds of algorithms for the automatic segmentation of skin lesions in dermoscopic images were implemented and evaluated, namely automatic thresholding, k -means, mean-shift, region growing, gradient vector flow (GVF), and watershed. The segmentation methods were evaluated with three distinct metrics, using as ground truth a database of 50 images manually segmented by an expert dermatologist. Among the implemented segmentation approaches, the GVF snake method achieved the best segmentation performance.

متن کاملReducing Light Change Effects in Automatic Road Detection
Automatic road extraction from aerial images can be very helpful in traffic control and vehicle guidance systems. Most of the road detection approaches are based on image segmentation algorithms. Color-based segmentation is very sensitive to light changes and consequently the change of weather condition affects the recognition rate of road detection systems. In order to reduce the light change ...
