Color Image Segmentation Applied to Medical Domain

چکیده
The article presents two practical ways of using the automated color image segmentation in the medical field: for content-based region query and for tracking the time evolution of the disease in patients following a certain treatment. A known technique was used for automated color medical image segmentation – the color set back-projection algorithm. Our previous work in extraction of color regions from a database of nature images using the same algorithm showed promising results. The images are transformed from RGB to HSV color space, quantized at 166 colors and processed by the color set backprojection algorithm that allows the color region detection. The algorithm is studied from two points of view: complexity and the retrieval quality. The experiments that were made on a database with color endoscopy images from digestive tract have shown satisfying results for both applications that are important in practical medical use and medical teaching.

In this paper, we present a method for color reduction of Persian carpet cartoons that increases both speed and accuracy of editing. Carpet cartoons are in two categories: machine-printed and hand-drawn. Hand-drawn cartoons are divided into two groups: before and after discretization. The purpose of this study is color reduction of hand-drawn cartoons before discretization. The proposed algorit...

Reducing the number of colors in an image while preserving its quality, is of importance in many applications such as image analysis and compression. It also decreases memory and transmission bandwidth requirements. Moreover, classification of image colors is applicable in image segmentation and object detection and separation, as well as producing pseudo-color images. In this paper, the Kohene...
