scholarly journals Liver and Tumor Segmentation Techniques for CT Abdominal Images

Image segmentation is one of the important step in digital image processing where the images are partitioned into different segments based on several properties like brightness, contrast, intensity and texture. Image processing includes several steps among which image segmentation is the difficult task. Accurate segmentation is the fundamental step in digital image processing. Segmentation can be performed manually, but as it is a tedious task, automatic segmentation techniques which gives more accuracy has to be found. Many recent segmentation techniques for liver image segmentation are discussed here. Some of the techniques to segment liver from CT scanned abdominal image and to segment tumor from the liver are discussed. The main objective is to highlight various techniques which can aid in developing a novel segmentation technique.

Image segmentation is one of the fundamental problems in image processing. In digital image processing, there are many image segmentation techniques. One of the most important techniques is Edge detection techniques for natural image segmentation. Edge is a one of the basic feature of an image. Edge detection can be used as a fundamental tool for image segmentation. Edge detection methods transform original images into edge images benefits from the changes of grey tones in the image. The image edges include a good number of rich information that is very significant for obtaining the image characteristic by object recognition and analyzing the image. In a gray scale image, the edge is a local feature that, within a neighborhood, separates two regions, in each of which the gray level is more or less uniform with different values on the two sides of the edge. In this paper, the main objective is to study the theory of edge detection for image segmentation using various computing approaches.


Edge detection is most important technique in digital image processing. It play an important role in image segmentation and many other applications. Edge detection providesfoundation to many medical and military applications.It difficult to generate a generic code for edge detection so many kinds ofalgorithms are available. In this article 4 different approaches Global image enhancement with addition (GIEA), Global image enhancement with Multiplication (GIEM),Without Global image enhancement with Addition (WOGIEA),and without Global image enhancement with Multiplication (WOGIEM)for edge detection is proposed. These algorithms are validatedon 9 different images. The results showthat GIEA give us more accurate results as compare to other techniques.

In day-to-day life, new technologies are emerging in the field of Image processing, especially in the domain of segmentation. Image segmentation is the most important part in digital image processing. Segmentation is nothing but a portion of any image and object. In image segmentation, the digital image is divided into multiple set of pixels. Image segmentation is generally required to cut out region of interest (ROI) from an image. Currently there are many different algorithms available for image segmentation. This chapter presents a brief outline of some of the most common segmentation techniques (e.g. Segmentation based on thresholding, Model based segmentation, Segmentation based on edge detection, Segmentation based on clustering, etc.,) mentioning its advantages as well as the drawbacks. The Matlab simulated results of different available image segmentation techniques are also given for better understanding of image segmentation. Simply, different image segmentation algorithms with their prospects are reviewed in this chapter to reduce the time of literature survey of the future researchers.

Abstract: This research work presents a prototype system that helps to recognize hand gesture to normal people in order to communicate more effectively with the special people. Aforesaid research work focuses on the problem of gesture recognition in real time that sign language used by the community of deaf people. The problem addressed is based on Digital Image Processing using CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks), Skin Detection and Image Segmentation techniques. This system recognizes gestures of ASL (American Sign Language) including the alphabet and a subset of its words. Keywords: gesture recognition, digital image processing, CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks), image segmentation, ASL (American Sign Language), alphabet

With the development of Transportation Highway and railroad build, mining tunnel geological exploration in the road construction in the proportion of great. This paper presents a design of image processing software of Geological Engineering images for automatic analysis and processing. At present, the technology of image processing, most algorithms are based on the specific image information of specific analysis, and the face image is very complicated, different regions, and even the same construction sections in different areas of the face image may have very big difference. For the tunnel excavation face of digital image processing algorithms have little, need to start from scratch. This paper describes the use of digital image processing technology of Geological Engineering image image segmentation, found on the rock face, through the comparison of edge detection operator and Sobel Gauss - Laplasse operator methods advantages and disadvantages, a value of two images as the processing object image processing algorithm. The technology of Geological Engineering image analysis on tunnel construction period prediction plays a very important role.

One of the main disease caused by the COVID-19 in the humans is the pneumonia. This disease mainly attacks the lungs and one of the effective methods for diagnosis is through X-ray chest analysis. Due this in this work a methodology that allow the segmentation and analysis of regions that belong to the lungs in images of X-ray chest is presented. This methodology is based mainly in the implementation of some digital image processing techniques such as: contrast enhancement, segmentation, binarization and the application of morphological operations as the erosion and dilatation.
