Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) offers a wealth of information for medical examination. Fast, accurate and reproducible segmentation of MRI is desirable in many applications. We have developed a new unsupervised MRI segmentation method based on k-means and fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithms, which

We describe an approach to unsupervised high-accuracy recognition of the textual contents of an entire book using fully automatic mutual-entropy-based model adaptation. Given images of all the pages of a book together with approximate models of image formation (e.g. a character-image classifier

segmentation scheme is based on a spatially continuous vascular model and consists of several steps including data preprocessing, edge filtering, model selection, edge reconstruction and data refinement. To conduct a quantitative evaluation each image was manually segmented by clinical experts and performance

extraction. In the first stage, we have suppressed the noise using image filtering. In the second stage, segmentation is computed using an unsupervised k-means and possibilistic c-means clustering algorithm with color conversion. The segmentation accuracy is obtained using the silhouette method

of considered strips. The Number of Tests We now have to discuss what the considered strips will be. In [2], we considered the relatively close problem of orientation alignments (straight edges) in a digital image. In that case, we tested all possible segments in the image, that is, about N 2 tests if N denotes

Abstract | This review provides an introduction to Sup-

that the computer can analyze the proteins automatically by first detecting then quantifying the protein spots in the 2-D gel images. In our previous work, we presented a new technique for segmentation of 2-D gel images using the fuzzy c-means algorithm using the notion of fuzzy relations. In this paper, we
