Thresholding is a fundamental task and a challenge for many image analysis and pre-processing process. However, the automatic selection of an optimum threshold has remained a challenge in image segmentation. The fuzzy 2-partition entropy approach for threshold selection is one of the best image thresholding techniques. In this work, an improvement of the later method using type-2 fuzzy sets is proposed to represent the imprecision or lack of knowledge of the expert in the choice of the membership function associated with the image. Two databases are used to evaluate its effectiveness: dataset of standard grayscale test images and MR Brain images. Experiment results show that the type-2 Fuzzy 2-partition entropy algorithm performs equally well in terms of the quality of image segmentation and leads to a good visual result.

In this paper, a three-dimensional probabilistic approach for MR brain image segmentation is proposed. Based on the noise-free representative reference vectors provided by SOM, the results of the 3D-PNN method are superior to other traditional algorithms. In addition to the 3D-PNN architecture, a fast three-step training method is proposed. The proposed approach also incorporates structure tensor to find appropriate feature sets for the 3D-PNN with respect to resulting classification accuracy. Computational results with simulated MR brain images have shown the promising performance of the proposed method.

An automated method of MR Brain image segmentation is presented. A block based Expectation Maximization method is presented for the tissue classification of MR Brain images. The standard Gaussian Mixture Model is the most widely used method for MR Brain Image Segmentation and Expectation Maximization algorithm is used to estimate the model parameters. The Gaussian Mixture Model considers each pixel as independent and does not take into account the spatial correlation between the neighbouring pixels. Hence the segmentation result obtained using standard GMM is highly sensitive to Inensity Non-Uniformity and noise. The image is divided into blocks before applying EM since the GMM is preserved in the local image blocks. Also, Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform is employed to incorporate the spatial correlation among the neighbouring pixels. The method is applied to the 12 MR Brain volumes of MRBRAINS13 test data and the White Matter, Gray Matter and CSF structures were segmented.
