What Is FCM-Based Image Segmentation

Shi Et al [13] used a local projection profile at each pixel of the image, and transform the original image into an adaptive local connectivity map (ALCM). For this process, first the gray scale image is reversed so the foreground pixels (text) have idensity values of up to 255. Then the image is downsample to ¼ of each size, ½ in each direction. Next a sliding window of size 2c scans the image from left to right, and right to left in order to compute the cumulative idensity of every neighborhood. This technique is identical to computing the projection profile of every sliding window, (i.e. counting the foreground pixels), but instead of outpiting a projection profile histogram, the entire sliding window sum is saved on the ALCM image.

(1) Use the equi-depth and smoothing by bin means method to smooth the above data.

Also, it is possible that the k-means algorithm won't find a final solution.  In this case it would be a good idea to consider stopping the algorithm after a pre-chosen maximum of

The segmentation of biological structure of the brain plays a crucial role in neuro imaging analysis. Major purpose of Brain tumor segmentation is to categorize the different tumor tissues such as active cells, necrotic core, and edema from normal brain tissues of Gray Matter (GM), White Matter (WM), and Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF). MR (Magnetic resonance) images are used to produce images of soft tissues that connect, support, or surround other structures and organs of the body of human body are . The objective of this review paper is to present a complete overview for MRI brain tumor segmentation. In this paper various techniques for segmentation have been discussed & it is found that hybrid clustering methodology results better in minimal

b represents the bias field that indicates the intensity inhomogeneity. The bias field is slowly varying, which implies that b can be will approximated by a constant in a neighbourhood of each point in the image domain. Energy function has to be minimized within a boundary where the level set evolves. For this a Neumann Boundary condition is defined and is applied to the level set function to get object boundary. Within this specific boundary, the Level Set Evolution process will take place. The level set function is obtained by taking the signed function of randomized image and has values 0, 1, and -1. Local intensity clustering property indicates that the image can be segmented into three regions based on the values of level set function. Standard K-means Criterion is used to classify the local intensity which can be defined as

Segmentation of brain tumor is done to separate tumor from non tumor tissue. It is one of the most crucial step in medical image processing. We have used modified Radial basis function to segment the tumor. It proves to be best option then existing algorithms.

Magnetic resonance imaging is one of the common clinical method for the diagnosis of brain disorders, evaluation of desease progression and follow-up treatment. In other hand, any neurological disorder frequently has specific effects on brain tissues structure so, segmentation of brain tissues gives information of its current severity. Although, manual segmentation of brain MRI is still a highly used method, it is a time consuming task and subject to high intra_ and inter_ observer variability so, automated brain tissue segmentation method is required. In this study, we proposed a dictionary learning and sparse presentation based method for automated segmentation of healthy brain tissue including white matter, gray matter and cerebrospinal

Medical imaging helps doctors in diagnosing and detecting diseases that attack the inside of the body without surgery. Mammogram image is a medical image of the inner breast imaging. Diagnosis of breast cancer needs to be done in detail and as soon as possible for determination of next medical treatment. The aim of this work is to increase the objectivity of clinical diagnostic by using fractal analysis. This study applies fractal method based on 2D Fourier analysis to determine the density of normal and abnormal and applying the segmentation technique based on K-Means clustering algorithm to image abnormal for determine the boundary of the organ and calculate the area of organ segmentation results. The results show fractal method based on

T.F.Chen [9] segmentation is the process of portioning the images, where we need to find the particular portion, there are several methods segmentation such as active contour, etc. segmentation can be done both manually and automatically. Here the new technique of segmentation known as level sets segmentation are described, the level set segmentation reduces the problems of finding the curves which is enclose with respect to the region of interest. The implementation of this involves the normal speed and vector field, entropy condition etc. The implementation results produced was two different curves, which can be splitted.

Granular parakeratosis is a skin disease that is identified by brownish-red keratotic papules that can coalesce into plaques. This is a rare disorder of keratinization with a distinctive histology wherein parakeratosis with retention of keratohyaline granules is identified in the epidermis. An effective image processing system support vector machine can be potentially used to segment the lesions of granular parakeratosis. Image Segmentation is one of the important issues occurred in times of before computer visualization. The fundamental objective of image segmentation is to segment a picture into its constituent areas. This segmentation can be applied to skin disease like granular parakeratosis and later Support Virtual Machine

Tumor segmentation from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data is an important but time consuming manual task performed by medical experts. Automating this process is a challenging task because of the high diversity in the appearance of tumor tissues among different patients and in many cases similarity with the normal tissues. MRI is an advanced medical imaging technique providing rich information about the human soft-tissue anatomy.. In this paper, we have proposed an automatic tumor detection framework to detect the multiple tumors in brain tumor databases. This system has four main phases, namely image preprocessing for image enhancement, Fuzzy C-Means segmentation algorithm is used for tumor segmentation, Apply thresholding on segmented

Neurodegenerative diseases causes a wide variety of mental symptoms whose evolution is not directly related to the analysis made by radiologists on basis of images, who can hardly quantify systematic differences. This paper presents a new automatic (Based on software program) image analysis method that reveals different brain patterns associated to the presence of neurodegenerative diseases, finding systematic differences and therefore grading objectively any neurological disorder. An accurate solution can be provided by using Alzheimer’s diseases based on saliency map characterization is carried out on database images. This paper gives automatic image analysis method and attempts an approach for classification of brain images to search for pathology and normality part of brain by extracting salient features of input brain image and the region of interest is identified using kernel k-means algorithm. A support vector machine (SVM) a supervised learning process is used for classification of AD, which is recognized on basis of blue color is normal brain part and red color is pathology related.

Abstract—A tumor is the growth in the abnormal tissue of the brain which causes damage to the other cells necessary for functioning. Detection of brain tumor is a difficult task, as there are various techniques involved in it. The active imaging resource used for brain tumor detection is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). It is necessary to use technique which can give the accurate location and size of the tumor. There are various algorithms proposed for brain tumor detection, this paper presents a survey on the various brain tumor detection algorithms. It gives the existing techniques and what are the advantages and disadvantages of these techniques.

Cluster analysis has many different algorithms and methods to classify objects(Saunders, 1994). One of the challenges faced by the researchers in different areas is to organize their data which is possible by cluster analysis, it is a data analysis tool which focus on classifying the different objects into groups such that the degree of association of the objects in a same group is highest if they belong and least if they do not belong. Cluster analysis is a simple term, it does not identify any statistical method or model and also there is no need to make any assumptions about distribution of data, it is used to form groups of relevant variables without providing any explanation (Stockburger, n.d.).

Accuracy (AC) and Normalized Mutual Information (NMI) are used as measures of clustering quality. In AC calculations, a one to one correspondence between result clusters and input classes is established. So a function is needed to map or associate the clusters to the input labels. The value of AC varies between 0 and 1, and a higher value indicates the higher clustering quality. AC is used in some
