The Watershed Algorithm : A Method to Segment Noisy PET Transmission Images
Attenuation correction is essential to PET imaging but often requires impractical acquisition times. Segmentation of short noisier transmission scans has been proposed as a solution. We report that a 3D morphological tool-the watershed algorithm-is well adapted for segmenting even 2-minute PET transmission images. The technique is non-iterative, fast, and fully 3-D. It inherently ensures class ...
متن کاملA watershed-based algorithm to segment and classify cells in fluorescence microscopy images
Imaging assays of cellular function, especially those using fluorescent stains, are ubiquitous in the biological and medical sciences. Despite advances in computer vision, such images are often analyzed using only manual or rudimentary automated processes. Watershed-based segmentation is an effective technique for identifying objects in images; it outperforms commonly used image analysis method...
متن کاملNoisy images edge detection: Ant colony optimization algorithm
The edges of an image define the image boundary. When the image is noisy, it does not become easy to identify the edges. Therefore, a method requests to be developed that can identify edges clearly in a noisy image. Many methods have been proposed earlier using filters, transforms and wavelets with Ant colony optimization (ACO) that detect edges. We here used ACO for edge detection of noisy ima...
متن کاملa new method to segment the multiple sclerosis lesions on brain magnetic resonance images
automatic segmentation of multiple sclerosis (ms) lesions in brain magnetic resonance imaging (mri) has been widely investigated in the recent years with the goal of helping ms diagnosis and patient follow‑up. in this research work, gaussian mixture model (gmm) has been used to segment the ms lesions in mris, including t1‑weighted (t1‑w), t2‑w, and t2‑fluid attenuation inversion recovery. usual...
متن کاملA Segmentation Algorithm for Noisy Images
This paper presents a segmentation algorithm for gray-level images and addresses issues related to its performance on noisy images. It formulates an image segmentation problem as a partition of a weighted image neighborhood hypergraph. To overcome the computational difficulty of directly solving this problem, a multilevel hypergraph partitioning has been used. To evaluate the algorithm, we have...
