Brain Image Segmentation

Image segmentation plays an important role in medical imaging applications. In this chapter, an automatic MRI brain image segmentation framework using gravitational search based clustering technique has been proposed. This framework consists of two stage segmentation procedure. First, non-brain tissues are removed from the brain tissues using modified skull-stripping algorithm. Thereafter, the automatic gravitational search based clustering technique is used to extract the brain tissues from the skull stripped image. The proposed algorithm has been applied on four simulated T1-weighted MRI brain images. Experimental results reveal that proposed algorithm outperforms the existing techniques in terms of the structure similarity measure.

Weight Learning

Multi-view fuzzy clustering analysis is often used for medical image segmentation such as brain MR image segmentation. However, in traditional multi-view clustering, it assumes that each view plays the same role to the final partition result, which omits the negative influences caused by noisy or weak views. In this paper, a novel entropy weighting based centralized clustering technique is proposed for multi-view datasets where the Shannon entropy is hired for view weight learning. Moreover, the centralized strategy is employed for collaborate learning. Extensive experiments show that the promising performance of our proposed clustering technique. More importantly, a case study on brain MR image segmentation indicates the application ability of our clustering technique.
