چکیده

This paper presents innovative ways to solve data clustering and image segmentation using Natural computing, a novel approach to solve real life problems inspired in the life. Evolutionary Computing, which is based on the concepts of the evolutionary biology and individual-to-population adaptation, and Swarm Intelligence, which is inspired in the behavior of individuals that, in group, try to achieve better results for a complex optimization problem, are detailed and very experimental results present a comparison between algorithms' implementations.

Extraction and 3D Segmentation of Tumors-Based Unsupervised Clustering Techniques in Medical Images

Introduction The diagnosis and separation of cancerous tumors in medical images require accuracy, experience, and time, and it has always posed itself as a major challenge to the radiologists and physicians. Materials and Methods We Received 290 medical images composed of 120 mammographic images, LJPEG format, scanned in gray-scale with 50 microns size, 110 MRI images including of T1-Wighted, T...

High Performance Implementation of Fuzzy C-Means and Watershed Algorithms for MRI Segmentation

Image segmentation is one of the most common steps in digital image processing. The area many image segmentation algorithms (e.g., thresholding, edge detection, and region growing) employed for classifying a digital image into different segments. In this connection, finding a suitable algorithm for medical image segmentation is a challenging task due to mainly the noise, low contrast, and steep...

Cluster-Based Image Segmentation Using Fuzzy Markov Random Field

Image segmentation is an important task in image processing and computer vision which attract many researchers attention. There are a couple of information sets pixels in an image: statistical and structural information which refer to the feature value of pixel data and local correlation of pixel data, respectively. Markov random field (MRF) is a tool for modeling statistical and structural inf...

An Improved Pixon-Based Approach for Image Segmentation

An improved pixon-based method is proposed in this paper for image segmentation. In thisapproach, a wavelet thresholding technique is initially applied on the image to reduce noise and toslightly smooth the image. This technique causes an image not to be oversegmented when the pixonbasedmethod is used. Indeed, the wavelet thresholding, as a pre-processing step, eliminates theunnecessary details...

Image Segmentation: Type–2 Fuzzy Possibilistic C-Mean Clustering Approach

Image segmentation is an essential issue in image description and classification. Currently, in many real applications, segmentation is still mainly manual or strongly supervised by a human expert, which makes it irreproducible and deteriorating. Moreover, there are many uncertainties and vagueness in images, which crisp clustering and even Type-1 fuzzy clustering could not handle. Hence, Type-...
