This paper presents a method for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) segmentation and the extraction of main brain tissues. The method uses an image processing technique based on level-set approach and EM-algorithm. The paper describes the main features of the method, and presents experimental results with real volumetric images in order to evaluate the performance of the method.

In this paper we analyze the problem of partitioning a continuous curve into n parts with equal successive chords, the curve EquiPartition problem (EP). The goal is to locate n− 1 consecutive curve points, so that the curve can be divided into n segments with equal chords under a distance function. We adopt a level set approach to prove that for any continuous injective curve in a metric space ...
