Performance Improvement of Fuzzy C-mean Algorithm for Tumor Extraction in MR Brain Images

Abstract: Aim of this paper is to develop an efficient fuzzy c-mean based segmentation algorithm to extract tumor region from MR brain images. First, cluster centroids are initialized through data analysis of tumor region, which optimizes the standard fuzzy cmean algorithm. Next, reconstruction based morphological operations are applied to enhance its performance for brain tumor extraction. The results show that simple fuzzy c-mean could not segment the region of interest properly, whereas enhanced algorithm effectively… Show more

“…In general, thresholding algorithms do not use spatial information of an image and they usually fail to segment objects with low contrast or noisy images with varying background. [13] The simplest method of image segmentation is called the thresholding method. This method is based on a clip-level (or a threshold value) to turn a gray-scale image into a binary image.…”

“…Most of the existing thresholding methods are bi-level, which use two levels to categorize the image into background and object segments. It can extract the object from the background by grouping the intensity according to the threshold [1]. The watershed segmentation is a process of image classification; it is first used by Beucher [2].…”

“…the K-mean is a cluster analysis. It depend on partition (n) observer into K cluster with minimum distance and nearest mean) [13][14] . In KM algorithm, the classification depend on the measurement of the distance from the classes to cluster centroids every pixel is assigned to its closest cluster.…”
