The correction of images corrupted by bias field artefact is still challenging task both at accuracy level as on the computational plane. The work in this paper focus on the second constraint by giving mathematical models of experimental execution time per iteration ETPI(s) on GPU and CPU implementations and speed-ups GPU/CPU(x) of the iterative Bias Field Correction Fuzzy C-means clustering Algorithm (Both sequential BCFCM and parallel PBCFCM versions) against the variable cluster number. In this study we characterize the behaviour of these devices against the proposed implementations to show the optimal situation that offers the best performance. The modelling results of cluster number variation show interesting behaviours and are in good accordance to experimental ones. 424 Bouchaib Cherradi et al.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
