Introduction The morphologic features of human sperms are key indicators for monitoring fertility problems in men. Therefore, automated analyzing methods via microscopic videos have become the most favorite policy in infertility treatment during the last decades. Materials and Methods In the proposed method, firstly a hypothesis testing framework was defined to distinguish sperms from backgroun...

A novel framework for highly dynamic scene segmentation through foreground hypothesis is developed here. This framework enables robust foreground segmentation by ranking object hypothesis over spatial space to achieve consistent object candidates and binary segmentation of a video sequence. Inside object candidates derived from spatial features in each frame are first estimated. This is followe...

Background: Accurate brain tissue segmentation from magnetic resonance (MR) images is an important step in analysis of cerebral images. There are software packages which are used for brain segmentation. These packages usually contain a set of skull stripping, intensity non-uniformity (bias) correction and segmentation routines. Thus, assessment of the quality of the segmented gray matter (GM), ...

Automatic segmentation of cell nuclei is an essential task in a variety of biomedical applications. However, performance is variable, being typically around 95% correct detection of nuclei depending on the degree of clustering. Furthermore, work to assess and optimize the segmentation accuracy of each nucleus is in its infancy. In this study we developed an algorithm intended for segmentation o...
