A New Perceptual Approach to Noisy X-Ray Image Segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thls paper proposes a new perceptual approach to noisy X-ray image segmentation. It consists of the five major s t e p : (1) Pre-segmentation, (2) Improved region growing, (3) Object detection. The heuristic knowledge about the biological struction of the human organs and simulation of human expert diagnosis is arranged by knowledge mechanism. And the knowledge driven interpretation is consistent with the human perception deduction. The method has been applied in medical ultrasonic image and X-ray stereoscope analysis. The experimental results show that it is a perspective approach to computer-aided diagnosis for medical imaging.

Minimizing Loss of Information at Competitive PLIP Algorithms for Image Segmentation with Noisy Back Ground
In this paper, two training systems for selecting PLIP parameters have been demonstrated. The first compares the MSE of a high precision result to that of a lower precision approximation in order to minimize loss of information. The second uses EMEE scores to maximize visual appeal and further reduce information loss. It was shown that, in the general case of basic addition, subtraction, or mul...
متن کاملAn 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...
متن کاملSegmentation Assisted Object Distinction for Direct Volume Rendering
Ray Casting is a direct volume rendering technique for visualizing 3D arrays of sampled data. It has vital applications in medical and biological imaging. Nevertheless, it is inherently open to cluttered classification results. It suffers from overlapping transfer function values and lacks a sufficiently powerful voxel parsing mechanism for object distinction. In this work, we are proposing an ...
متن کاملEmpirical correlation for porosity deduction from X-ray computed tomography (CT)
For obtaining reservoir petrophysical properties, for example porosity, non-destructive methods such as X-ray computed tomography, CT, seems to be precise and accurate. Porosity is deducted from the CT image with a single scan via different techniques, such as pore space detection by image segmentation techniques then correlation with porosity. More than one hundred samples with carbonate li...
متن کاملKnowledge-Based Image Understanding: A Rule-Based Production System for X-Ray Segmentation
Image Understanding (IU) concerns the issues of how to interpret images. Knowledge-based image understanding studies the theory and techniques of computational image understanding, which uses explicit, independent knowledge about the images, such as their context and objects in them, as well as knowledge about the imaging system. Two related disciplines, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Image P...
