Brain tumor segmentation and its study are tricky assignments of medical image processing due to complexity and variance of tumors however, forms a decisive factor for quantitative exploration of the spatial data in magnetic resonance imaging of human brain. In that mode, this modality of image has developed into a valuable investigative means in medicinal domain for detecting irregularity and discrepancy in human brain. The accuracy of segmentation method relies on its capability to discriminate different tissue, classes, discretely. Consequently there is an essential need to evaluate this capability prior to employing the segmentation method on medical images. In this paper, a semi-automatic segmentation technique is proposed to carry out the analysis and study of proficient pathologies of brain tumor of human brain. The task of segmentation is carried out integrating region growing with active contour methodologies. The evaluation of proposed methodology has been carried out on multislice image of MRI data and compared with other semi automatic and automatic techniques. It is observed by the experimental results that proposed system has the ability to accomplish fast segmentation and exact modeling of tumors in brain with a gratifying accuracy in order to support future treatment planning.

<div>Glioma is the most deadly brain tumor with high mortality. Treatment planning by human experts depends on the proper diagnosis of physical symptoms along with Magnetic Resonance(MR) image analysis. Highly variability of a brain tumor in terms of size, shape, location, and a high volume of MR images makes the analysis time-consuming. Automatic segmentation methods achieve a reduction in time with excellent reproducible results.</div><div>The article aims to survey the advancement of automated methods for Glioma brain tumor segmentation. It is also essential to make an objective evaluation of various models based on the benchmark. Therefore, the 2012 - 2019 BraTS challenges database evaluates state-of-the-art methods. The complexity of tasks under the challenge has grown from segmentation (Task1) to overall survival prediction (Task 2) to uncertainty prediction for classification (Task 3). The paper covers the complete gamut of brain tumor segmentation using handcrafted features to deep neural network models for Task 1. The aim is to showcase a complete change of trends in automated brain tumor models. The paper also covers end to end joint models involving brain tumor segmentation and overall survival prediction. All the methods are probed, and parameters that affect performance are tabulated and analyzed.</div>

With the gradual improvement of China’s railway net, the opening of international railways as well as the continuous growth of railway operating mileage, the workload of remeasuring railways is increasing. The traditional methods of remeasuring railways can not meet current high-speed and high-density operating conditions anymore in terms of safety, efficiency and quality, so a safer and more efficient measurement method is urgently needed.This thesis integrated various sensors on a self-mobile instrument, such as 3D laser scanner, digital image sensor and GNSS_IMU, designing a set of intelligent and integrated self-mobile scanning measurement system. This thesis proposed region growing segmentation based on the reflection intensity of point cloud. Through the secondary development of CAD, the menu for automatic processing of self-mobile scanning measurement system is designed to realize rail automatic segmentation, extraction of rail top points, fitting of plane parameters of railway line, calculation of curve elements and mileage management.The results show that self-mobile scanning measurement system overcomes the shortcomings of traditional railway measurement to some extent, and realizes intelligent measurement of railways.

Medical image processing is an important task in current scenario as more and more humans are diagnosed with various medical issues. Brain tumor (BT) is one of the problems that is increasing at a rapid rate and its early detection is important in increasing the survival rate of humans. Detection of tumor from Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) of brain is very difficult when done manually and also time consuming. Further the tumors assume different shapes and may be present in any portion of the brain. Hence identification of the tumor poses an important task in the lives of human and it is necessary to identify its exact position in the brain and the affected regions. The proposed algorithm makes use of deep learning concepts for automatic segmentation of the tumor from the MRI brain images. The algorithm is implemented using MATLAB and an accuracy of 99.1% is achieved.

In the medical image-processing field brain tumor segmentation is aquintessential task. Thereby early diagnosis gives us a chance of increasing survival rate. It will be way much complex and time consuming when comes to processing large amount of MRI images manually, so for that we need an automatic way of brain tumor image segmentation process. This paper aims to gives a comparative study of brain tumor segmentation, which are MRI-based. So recent methods of automatic segmentation along with advanced techniques gives us an improved result and can solve issue better than any other methods. Therefore, this paper brings comparative analysis of three models such as Deformable model of Fuzzy C-Mean clustering (DMFCM), Adaptive Cluster with Super Pixel Segmentation (ACSP) and Grey Wolf Optimization based ACSP (GWO_ACSP) and these are tested on CANCER IMAGE ACHRCHIEVE which is a preparation information base containing High Grade and Low-Grade astrocytoma tumors. Here boundaries including Accuracy, Dice coefficient, Jaccard score and MCC are assessed and along these lines produce the outcomes. From this examination the test consequences of Grey Wolf Optimization based ACSP (GWO_ACSP) gives better answer for mind tumor division issue.
