Development Of Texture Weighted Fuzzy C-Means Algorithm For 3d Brain Mri Segmentation, Ji Young Lee Jan 2018

Development Of Texture Weighted Fuzzy C-Means Algorithm For 3d Brain Mri Segmentation, Ji Young Lee

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The segmentation of human brain Magnetic Resonance Image is an essential component in the computer-aided medical image processing research. Brain is one of the fields that are attracted to Magnetic Resonance Image segmentation because of its importance to human. Many algorithms have been developed over decades for brain Magnetic Resonance Image segmentation for diagnosing diseases, such as tumors, Alzheimer, and Schizophrenia. Fuzzy C-Means algorithm is one of the practical algorithms for brain Magnetic Resonance Image segmentation. However, Intensity Non- Uniformity problem in brain Magnetic Resonance Image is still challenging to existing Fuzzy C-Means algorithm. In this paper, we propose the …


A Scale Space Local Binary Pattern (Sslbp) – Based Feature Extraction Framework To Detect Bones From Knee Mri Scans, Jinyeong Mun Jan 2018

A Scale Space Local Binary Pattern (Sslbp) – Based Feature Extraction Framework To Detect Bones From Knee Mri Scans, Jinyeong Mun

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The medical industry is currently working on a fully autonomous surgical system, which is considered a novel modality to go beyond technical limitations of conventional surgery. In order to apply an autonomous surgical system to knees, one of the primarily responsible areas for supporting the total weight of human body, accurate segmentation of bones from knee Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans plays a crucial role. In this paper, we propose employing the Scale Space Local Binary Pattern (SSLBP) feature extraction, a variant of local binary pattern extractions, for detecting bones from knee images. The proposed methods consist of two phases. …
