Denoising and segmentation of MR images using fourth order non‐linear adaptive PDE and new convergent clustering

Abstract

At present, digital image processing plays a vital role in medical imaging areas and specifically in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain images such as axial and coronal sections. This article mainly focused on the MRI brain images. The existing methods such as total variation (MC), parallel MRI, modified pyramidal dual‐tree direction filter, adaptive dictionary selection algorithm, classifier methods, and fuzzy clustering techniques are poor in image eminence and precision. Thus, this article presents a novel approach consisting of denoising followed by segmentation. The objective of these proposed methods was visual eminence improvement of medical images to examine tumor extent using an adaptive partial differential equation (APDE)‐based analysis with soft threshold function in denoising. The fourth order, nonlinear APDE was used to denoise the image depending on gradient and Laplacian operators associated with the new adaptive Haar‐type wavelet transform. A second approach was the new convergent K‐means clustering for segmentation. The convergent K‐means procedure diminishes the summation of the squared deviations of structures in a cluster from the center. The significance of these proposed methods was to compute their performances in terms of mean squared error, peak signal‐to‐noise ratio, structure similarity, segmentation accuracy, false hit, missed‐term, and elapsed time. The results were analyzed with the MATLAB software.

“…When a sigma value of 10 is applied to BT1, BT2, BT3, and BT4, the best PSNR values of the proposed method (PDE + MTGC) are 70.55 dB (0.005), 71.85 dB (0.004), 70.34 dB (0.006), and 70.51 dB (0.005), which are comparable to those of the existing methods. For Adaptive PDE + GCV, 4 BT1 is 67.46 dB (0.011), BT2 is 68.64 dB (0.008), BT3 is 67.47 dB (0.011), and BT4 is 67.79 dB (0.010). For PMRI, 2 BT1 is 41.50 dB (0.071), BT2 is 40.23 dB (0.045), BT3 is 39.12 dB (0.056), and BT4 is 37.01 dB (0.070).…”

“…These values are comparable to those of the existing methods. For Adaptive PDE + GCV, 4 BT1 is 67.07 dB (0.012), BT2 is 66.61 dB (0.014), BT3 is 67.19 dB (0.012), and BT4 is 66.92 dB (0.013). For PMRI, 2 BT1 is 41.23 dB (0.071), BT2 is 39.10 dB (0.055), BT3 is 38.66 dB (0.059), and BT4 is 37 dB (0.071).…”

“…For image segmentation, Kollem et al 4 presented an adaptive partial differential equation‐based MRI malignancy image denoising approach and a convergent K‐means clustering technique. During the procedure, the noisy tumor image is denoised by a partial differential equation with thresholding.…”

Effective Image Co-Segmentation using Modified Higher Order Algorithm

“…The erstwhile encourages the consistent segmentations into each and every single photograph at the equal era as like the later visit the variations among the foreground histograms regarding multiple snap shots. Stimulated by using interactive single-photograph segmentation methods [14], [15], [16], numerous interactive co-segmentation tactics [17], [18], [19], [20] the usage of customer scribbles had been proposed within ultra-modern years. The user normally suggests scribbles on foreground and heritage namely more obligation statistics in conformity with decorate the co-segmentation usual performance.…”

“…Those interactive cosegmentation approaches execute act together with a team about related snap shots yet decorate the co-segmentation effects via consumer scribbles. Batra et al [18], [19] proposed an interactive image co-segmentation approach to segment foreground devices with non-public interactions. They discovered abroad foreground/background look fashions the use of person scribbles.…”
