Segmentation of CT image using MAP-Model and Simulation Annealing
International Journal of Computer Applications, 2013
Segmentation on Computed Tomography (CT) image of heart and brain can be optimally posed as Bayesian labeling in which the segment of a image is defined as the maximum a posteriori (MAP) probability estimate of the true labeling. The Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm is used to minimize the energy function associated with MRF posterior distribution function. The goal of this thesis paper is to minimize the energy function using Gaussian distribution and get accurate segmentation by slowly minimize the energy and simultaneously reduce the pixels which have no impact on the image at rapid rate to get the segmentation quickly without degrade the image. The propose algorithm able to get more precise segmentation.
Segmentation of Magnetic Resonance Images Using Mean Field Annealing
Information Processing in Medical Imaging, 1991
The problem of segmentation of Magnetic Resonance images into regions of uniform tissue density is posed as an optimization problem. A new objective function is defined and the resulting minimization problem is solved using Mean Field Annealing, a new technique which usually finds global minima in non-convex optimization problems, and performs particularly well on images. Noise sensitivity is evaluated by tests on synthetic images, and the technique is then applied to clinical images of a brain and a knee. The technique shows considerable promise as a method of quantitative change monitoring.
Color Image Segmentation Using MRF Model and Simulated Annealing
Copyright for this article belongs to National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, India In this paper color image segmentation is accomplished using MRF model. The problem is formulated as a pixel labeling and the true labels are modeled as the MRF model. The observed color image is assumed to be the degraded version of the true labels. We assume the degradation to be Gaussian distribution. The label estimates are obtained by using Bayesian framework and MAP criterion. The (I1, I2, I3) color model is used to represent the color and the MAP estimate is obtained by Simulated Annealing. Simulation results of both indoor and outdoor scenes are considered to validate our approach.
Segmentation of medical images using Simulated Annealing Based Fuzzy C Means algorithm
International Journal of Biomedical Engineering and Technology, 2009
The objective of developing this software is to achieve auto-segmentation and tissue characterization. Therefore, the present algorithm has been designed and developed for analysis of medical images based on hybridization of syntactic and statistical approaches, using artificial neural network (ANN). This algorithm performs segmentation and classification as is done in human vision system, which recognizes objects; perceives depth; identifies different textures, curved surfaces, or a surface inclination by texture information and brightness. The analysis of medical image is directly based on four steps: 1) image filtering, 2) segmentation, 3) feature extraction, and 4) analysis of extracted features by pattern recognition system or classifier. In this paper, an attempt has been made to present an approach for soft tissue characterization utilizing texture-primitive features with ANN as segmentation and classifier tool. The present approach directly combines second, third, and fourth steps into one algorithm. This is a semisupervised approach in which supervision is involved only at the level of defining texture-primitive cell; afterwards, algorithm itself scans the whole image and performs the segmentation and classification in unsupervised mode. The algorithm was first tested on Markov textures, and the success rate achieved in classification was 100%; further, the algorithm was able to give results on the test images impregnated with distorted Markov texture cell. In addition to this, the output also indicated the level of distortion in distorted Markov texture cell as compared to standard Markov texture cell. Finally, algorithm was applied to selected medical images for segmentation and classification. Results were in agreement with those with manual segmentation and were clinically correlated. a) image filtering or preprocessing, b) image segmentation, c) feature extraction, and d) classification or analysis of extracted features by classifier or pattern recognition system. The image filtering or preprocessing depends mainly on the quality of the image acquired from image acquisition system. The main aim of image preprocessing is to suppress unwanted noise and to enhance image features important from further analysis point of view, and is most of the time specific in nature depending upon the type of noise present in the image. (For example, in case of image with poor 'brightness and contrast,' histogram equalization can be used to improve the brightness and contrast of an image.) In analysis of medical images, we try to avoid image preprocessing unless and until it is very much necessary as image preprocessing typically decreases image information content.

A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue in the brain. The segmentation of brain tumors, which has been manually achieved from magnetic resonance images (MRI) is a decisive and time-consuming task. Treatment, diagnosis, signs and symptoms of the brain tumors mainly depend on the tumor size, position, and growth pattern. The accuracy and timeliness of detecting a brain tumor are vital factors to achieve the success in diagnosis and treatment of brain tumor. Therefore, segmentation and estimation of volume of brain tumor have been deemed a challenge mission in medical image processing. This paper aims to present a new approach, to improve the segmentation of brain tumors form T2-weighted MRI images using hidden Markov random fields (HMRF) and threshold method. We calculate the volume of the tumor using a new approach based on 2D images measurements and voxel space. The accuracy of segmentation is computed by using the ROC method. In order to validate the proposed approach a comparison is achieved with a manual method using Mango software. This comparison reveals that the noise or impurities in measurement of tumor volume are less in the proposed approach than in Mango software.

By using entropy and local neighborhood information, we present in this study a robust adaptive Gaussian regularizing Chan-Vese (CV) model to segment the myocardium from magnetic resonance images with intensity inhomogeneity. By utilizing the circular Hough transformation (CHT) our model is able to detect epicardial and endocardial contours of the left ventricle (LV) as circles automatically, and the circles are used as the initialization. In the cost functional of our model, the interior and exterior energies are weighted by the entropy to improve the robustness of the evolving curve. Local neighborhood information is used to evolve the level set function to reduce the impact of the heterogeneity inside the regions and to improve the segmentation accuracy. An adaptive window is utilized to reduce the sensitivity to initialization. The Gaussian kernel is used to regularize the level set function, which can not only ensure the smoothness and stability of the level set function, but a...
Brain MR Image Segmentation using Tabu Search and Hidden Markov Random Field Model
Indian International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2005
In this paper, we propose a hybrid Tabu Expectation Maximization (TEM) Algorithm for segmentation of Brain Magnetic Resonance (MR) images in both supervised and unsupervised framewrok. Gaussian Hidden Markov Random Field (GHMRF) is used to model the available degraded image. In supervised framework, the apriori image MRF model parameters as well as the GHMRF model parameters are assumed to be known. The class labels are estimated using the Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) estimation criterion. In unsupervised framework, the problem of model parameter estimation and label estimation is formulated in Expectation Maximization (EM) framework. The labels are estimated using the proposed Tabu Search algorithm while the model parameters are the maximum likelihood estimates. Our proposed algorithm yields results with arbitrary initial paramater set and thus overcomes the problem of proper choice of initial parameters. The results obtained are comparable with the results obtained by using the algorithm proposed by Zhang et.al. [15] , where the Iterated Conditional Mode (ICM) algorithm is used for computing the MAP estimates.
Method Implementation in Magnetic Resonance Image Segmentation Algorithm for Human Brain Tumor
Advances in computational sciences and technology, 2011
In the magnetic resonance image segmentation the k-means algorithm and fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm have been developed and implemented. Simulations have been done in MATLAB 2010b. Applying the expectationmaximization algorithm directly to the MR image of human brain does not provide satisfactory results in the segmentation of human brain tumor. The input to the kmeans algorithm is the final feature image obtained by processing the outputs of Gabor wavelets and the number of desired classes in which the input image must be segmented. The region with the highest intensity in the tumor has been labeled as the darkest in the kmeans algorithm. Kmeans clustering for features extracted from all three levels of approximation has been study thoroughly. Fuzzy c-means clustering is applied to the feature image obtained from combining the Gabor outputs. The clustering algorithm evaluates the six classes in the feature image. Within each class, the candidate pixels showing the greatest tendency of belonging to the particular class are highlighted with the darkest colors. In fuzzy c-means clustering, at every level of decomposition, the tumor is perfectly segmented out showing its presence as an object at all levels of approximation which is definite advantage over kmeans clustering algorithm.
