A new minimum variance region growing algorithm for image segmentation
Region growing is a very useful technique for image segmentation. Its efficiency mainly depends on its aggregation criterion. In the present paper, a new algorithm is proposed with a homogeneity criterion based on an adequate tuning between spatial neighbourhood and histogram neighbourhood. It differs from other techniques by reconsidering the pixel (or voxel) assignments on each step by a proc...
متن کاملClustering Based Region Growing Algorithm for Color Image Segmentation
We propose an image segmentation method based on combining unsupervised clustering in the color space with region growing in the image space. No ‘a priori’ knowledge is required about the number of regions in the image. The algorithm is useful for marker extraction or complete segmentation of multidimensional, and in particular color, images. The running time depends mostly upon the speed of th...
متن کاملUnseeded Region Growing for 3D Image Segmentation
Unseeded region growing is a versatile and fully automatic segmentation technique suitable for multispectral and 3D images. This approach integrates region-based segmentation with image processing techniques based on adaptive anisotropic diffusion filters. The segmentation method is fast, reliable and free of tuning parameters. It is indeed a general purpose segmentation method and has been suc...
متن کاملA Hybrid Technique for Medical Image Segmentation
Medical image segmentation is an essential and challenging aspect in computer-aided diagnosis and also in pattern recognition research. This paper proposes a hybrid method for magnetic resonance (MR) image segmentation. We first remove impulsive noise inherent in MR images by utilizing a vector median filter. Subsequently, Otsu thresholding is used as an initial coarse segmentation method that ...
متن کاملLung Segmentation Using Region Growing Algorithm
Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system provides effective early lung diseases diagnoses. Parenchyma refers to the part Lung that is responsible for that Lung working properly. People with lung parenchymal disease often suffer from conditions such as sarcoidoisis, characterized by tissue swelling and the formation of lumps in the tissue. Other conditions commonly found in the lung’s parenchyma ar...
