A Survey on Lung Segmentation Methods

Lung diseases are the deadliest disease in the world. The computer aided detection system in lung diseases needed accurate lung segmentation to preplan the pulmonary treatment and surgeries. The researchers undergone the lung segmentation need a deep study and understanding of the traditional and recent papers developed in the lung segmentation field so that they can continue their research journey in an efficient way with successful outcomes. The need of reviewing the research papers is now a most wanted one for researches so this paper makes a survey on recent trends of pulmonary lung segmentation. Seven recent papers are carried out to analyze the performance characterization of themselves. The working methods, purpose for development, name of algorithm and drawbacks of the method are taken into consideration for the survey work. The tables and charts are drawn based on the reviewed papers. The study of lung segmentation research is more helpful to new and fresh researchers who are committed their research in lung segmentation.
