Incorporating priors for medical image segmentation using a genetic algorithm
Medical image segmentation is typically performed manually by a physician to delineate gross tumor volumes for treatment planning and diagnosis. Manual segmentation is performed by medical experts using prior knowledge of organ shapes and locations but is prone to reader subjectivity and inconsistency. Automating the process is challenging due to poor tissue contrast and ill-defined organ/tissu...
متن کاملMedical Image Segmentation using Weak Priors
Image segmentation is a core technique in medical image analysis. By enabling semantic interpretability of raw image data, it allows both medical experts and automatic processing software to diagnose and to plan for the treatment of pathologies with greater accuracy and efficiency. An additional use-case for segmentations is to learn models of anatomical variability, for example statistical sha...
متن کاملGenetic Algorithm Driven Statistically Deformed Models for Medical Image Segmentation
We present a novel evolutionary computing based approach to medical image segmentation. Our method complements the image-pixel integration power of deformable shape models with the high-level control mechanisms of genetic algorithms (GA). Specifically, the GAs alleviate typical deformable model weaknesses pertaining to model initialization, deformation parameter selection, and energy functional...
متن کاملImage Segmentation Using Thresholding and Genetic Algorithm
In this paper the problem of image segmentation is addressed using the notion of thresholding. A new approach based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) is proposed for selection of threshold from the histogram of images. Specifically GA based crowding algorithm is proposed for determination of the peaks and valleys of the histogram. Experimental results are provided for histogram with bimodal feature, ho...
متن کاملA Genetic Algorithm for Color Image Segmentation
A genetic algorithm for color image segmentation is proposed. The method represents an image as a weighted undirected graph, where nodes correspond to pixels, and edges connect similar pixels. Similarity between two pixels is computed by taking into account not only brightness, but also color and texture content. Experiments on images from the Berkeley Image Segmentation Dataset show that the m...
