Aiming at the problems of noise sensitivity and unclear contour in existing MRI image segmentation algorithms, a segmentation method combining regularized P-M de-noising model and improved watershed algorithm is proposed. First, the brain MRI image is pre-processed to obtain a brain nuclear image. Then, the brain nuclear image is de-noised by a regularized P-M model. After that, the image is preliminarily segmented by the traditional watershed algorithm to extract the features of each small region. Finally, the small regions are merged by Fuzzy Clustering with Spatial Pattern (FCSP) to obtain the segmentation image with smooth edges. The experimental results show that the algorithm can accurately segment the gray matter (GM), white matter (WM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) regions. The average AOM and ME of the segmentation results on the BrainWeb dataset reached 0.93 and 0.04, respectively.

Brain tumour detection is an evergreen topic to attract attention in the examination field of Information Technology innovation with biomedical designing, in view of the gigantic need of proficient and viable strategy for assessment of enormous measure of information. Image segmentation is considered as one of the most vital systems for visualizing tissues in an individual. To robotize image segmentation, we have proposed a calculation to get global optimal thresholding esteem for a specific brain MRI image, utilizing OTSU+Sauvola binarization strategy. The fundamental reason for feature collection is to diminish the quantity of structures utilized in classification while keeping up satisfactory classification exactness. One of the most extra-customary procedures applied for feature extraction is Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). Adequately it anticipates the estimation space on a plane to such an extent that the fluctuation of the information is ideally protected. We propose a justifiable model for brain tumours discovery and classification i.e., to classify whether the tumour is benign or malignant, utilizing SVM classification. SVM utilized here deals with basic hazard minimization to group the images for the tumour extraction, and a Graphical User Interface is created for the tumour classification operation, using the MATLAB platform.

Background: The brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image segmentation method mainly refers to the division of brain tissue, which can be divided into tissue parts such as white matter (WM), gray matter (GM), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The segmentation results can provide a basis for medical image registration, 3D reconstruction, and visualization. Generally, MRI images have defects such as partial volume effects, uneven grayscale, and noise. Therefore, in practical applications, the segmentation of brain MRI images has difficulty obtaining high accuracy.Materials and Methods: The fuzzy clustering algorithm establishes the expression of the uncertainty of the sample category and can describe the ambiguity brought by the partial volume effect to the brain MRI image, so it is very suitable for brain MRI image segmentation (B-MRI-IS). The classic fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm is extremely sensitive to noise and offset fields. If the algorithm is used directly to segment the brain MRI image, the ideal segmentation result cannot be obtained. Accordingly, considering the defects of MRI medical images, this study uses an improved multiview FCM clustering algorithm (IMV-FCM) to improve the algorithm’s segmentation accuracy of brain images. IMV-FCM uses a view weight adaptive learning mechanism so that each view obtains the optimal weight according to its cluster contribution. The final division result is obtained through the view ensemble method. Under the view weight adaptive learning mechanism, the coordination between various views is more flexible, and each view can be adaptively learned to achieve better clustering effects.Results: The segmentation results of a large number of brain MRI images show that IMV-FCM has better segmentation performance and can accurately segment brain tissue. Compared with several related clustering algorithms, the IMV-FCM algorithm has better adaptability and better clustering performance.

Background: This research aims at the accurate selection of the seed points from the brain MRI image for the detection of the tumor region. Since, the conventional way of manual seed selection leads to inappropriate tumor extraction therefore, fuzzy clustering technique is employed for the accurate seed selection for performing the segmentation through graph cut method. Methods: In the proposed method Fuzzy Kernel Seed Selection technique is used to define the complete brain MRI image into different groups of similar intensity. Among these groups the most accurate kernels are selected empirically that show highest resemblance with the tumor. The concept of fuzziness helps making the selection even at the boundary regions. Results: The proposed Fuzzy kernel selection technique is applied on the BraTS dataset. Among the four modalities, the proposed technique is applied on Flair images. This dataset consists of Low Grade Glioma (LGG) and High Grade Glioma (HGG) tumor images. The experiment is conducted on more than 40 images and validated by evaluating the following performance metrics: 1. Disc Similarity Coefficient (DSC), 2. Jaccard Index (JI) and 3. Positive Predictive Value (PPV). The mean DSC and PPV values obtained for LGG images are 0.89 and 0.87 respectively; and for HGG images it is 0.92 and 0.90 respectively. Conclusion: On comparing the proposed Fuzzy kernel selection graph cut technique approach with the existing techniques it is observed that the former provides an automatic accurate tumor detection. It is highly efficient and can provide a better performance for HGG and LGG tumor segmentation in clinical application.
