چکیده

-The most important task in digital image processing is image segmentation. This paper put forward an unique image segmentation algorithm that make use of a Markov Random Field (MRF) hybrid with biologically inspired technique Bacteria Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA) for Brain Magnetic Resonance Images The proposed new algorithm works on the image pixel data and a region/neighborhood map to form a context in which they can merge. Hence, the MR brain image is segmented using MRF-BFOA and the results are compared to traditional metaheuristic segmentation method Genetic Algorithm. All the experiment results show that MRF-BFOA has better performance than that of standard MRF-GA Keyword Magnetic Resonance Image ( MRI), Brain Tumor, Brain Image Segmentation, Markov Random Field, Bacteria Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA)

Bacterial foraging optimization based brain magnetic resonance image segmentation

Segmentation partitions an image into its constituent parts. It is essentially the pre-processing stage of image analysis and computer vision. In this work, T1 and T2 weighted brain magnetic resonance images are segmented using multilevel thresholding and bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) algorithm. The thresholds are obtained by maximizing the between class variance (multilevel Otsu method...
