Abstract:
Region segmentation is one of the most common methods of medical image segmentation. However, it still has some disadvantages in practice: (1) Threshold choice will result in a poor performance in the image segmentation if there is little difference in the gray of an image. (2) Region-based segmentation algorithm is usually uncertain in defining the edge between the object and the background. This paper implements an improved algorithm to overcome these problems. In the algorithm, the FCM (fuzzy C-means) clustering method is used to improve the accuracy of image segmentation according to its stability. And Roberts operator is also added to compensate the deficiency in edge detection. This medical image segmentation method is a combination of region segmentation and edge segmentation, which is based on OTSU threshold segmentation, fuzzy C-means clustering and Roberts operator. Experiments show that the improved segmentation algorithm has a better performance than those traditional algorithms in the effect.Keywords:

Segmentation requires the separation or division of an image into regions of similar properties. Image amplitude is the most basic attribute for image segmentation. Image texture and edges are also useful properties for the segmentation process. There is no standard approach for segmentation of an image; no single theory for image segmentation. Segmentation of an image is usually used to mark and determine boundaries and objects (curves, lines, etc.) in an image. More precisely, image segmentation is the process of labeling of every pixel in the image where pixels having the same properties have the same visual properties and share the same group. The result of segmentation process is a number of regions or segments that cover the whole image, or a number of extracted edges and contours of the image. All pixels in the same region are similar according to some characteristics or properties, such as texture, intensity, or color. In this paper a literature review of the various segmentation methods that are available for medical images is presented. Because of image segmentation importance, a set of image segmentation techniques namely; Thresholding techniques, Clustering techniques, Artificial Neural Networks, Edge based techniques, Region based techniques, Watershed, Graph based and Deformable models have been discussed and compared. The features and requirements of several freely and commercial software tools for image segmentation are clarified. The paper is ended by focusing on the novel trends on the topic.

Image segmentation is one of the key elements in image processing. Image segmentation is a way of acquiring hidden aspects within an image. It is used in various applications like object recognition or image compression. There are specific image segmentation techniques, which segments the image into multiple segments. These techniques differentiate or make the group of image. This paper presents a new segmentation technique that improves the quality of the segmented image. Performance metrics like entropy and NIQE are used to calculate the performance.

Image segmentation is the fundamental step to analyze images and extract data from them. This paper concentrates on the idea behind the basic methods used. Image segmentation is the process of partitioning a digital image into multiple segments(i. e. sets of pixels). The goal of segmentation is to simplify or change the representation of an image into something that is more meaningful and easier to analyze. Segmentation is typically used to locate objects and boundaries(line, curve) in image. The Image segmentation is a set of segments that collectively cover the entire image. Each of pixels in a region are similar with respect to some characteristics colour, intensity or texture. The various segmentation techniques discussed in this paper.

Image segmentation is one of the most fundamental tasks in image processing.Two segmentation methods which are edge based and region based are used mostly in image segmentation.With the presentation of Level Set,active contour models,especially the C-V model,have developed rapidly in the image segmentation application.Besides,multiphase C-V model and models incorporated by shape prior,texture and other prior information have also been proposed.The C-V model was applied to image segmentation in this paper.Its effectiveness was testified both through segmentation experiments on synthetic and real images and comparison experiments to other segmentation methods.

We propose an image segmentation algorithm that is based on spatially adaptive color and texture features. The features are first developed independently, and then combined to obtain an overall segmentation. Texture feature estimation requires a finite neighborhood which limits the spatial resolution of texture segmentation, while color segmentation provides accurate and precise edge localization. We combine a previously proposed adaptive clustering algorithm for color segmentation with a simple but effective texture segmentation approach to obtain an overall image segmentation. Our focus is in the domain of photographic images with an essentially unlimited range of topics. The images are assumed to be of relatively low resolution and may be degraded or compressed.

Image based applications such as target tracking, tumor detection, texture extraction requires an efficient image segmentation process. The partitioning of image into various non- overlapping distinct regions refers the image segmentation. Various segmentation techniques like edge, threshold, region, clustering and neural network are involved in the effective image analysis. The efficiency of the segmentation process improved with the help of several algorithms, namely, active contour, level set, Fuzzy clustering and K-means clustering. This paper analyses the performance of algorithms for image segmentation in detail. Intensity and texture based image segmentation is the two levels of the level set method. The combination of both intensity and texture based image segmentation provides better results than the traditional methods. The detailed survey of segmentation techniques provides the requirement of the suitable enhancement method that supports both intensity and texture based segmentation for better results. The comparison between the traditional image segmentation techniques are illustrated.
