Semantic Segmentation is a very active area of research in the examining the medical images. The failure in the conventional segmentation methods to preserve the full resolution throughout the network led to the research’s that developed methods to protect the resolution of the images. The proposed method involves the semantic segmentation model for the biomedical images by utilizing the encoder/decoder structure to down sample the spatial resolution of the input data and develop a lower resolution feature mapping that are very effective at distinguishing between the classes and then perform the up samples to have a full-resolution segmentation map of the biomedical images reducing the diagnostic time. The frame work put forth utilizes a pixel to pixel fully trained cascaded convolutional neural network for the task of image segmentation. The evaluation biomedical image analysis using the semantic segmentation shows the performance improvement achieved by the minimization of the time required in testing and the augmentation in the analysis performed by the radiologist.

Image segmentation plays a vital role in several medical imaging programs by assisting the delineation of physiological structures along with other parts. The objective of this research work is to segmentize human lung MRI (Medical resonance Imaging) images for early detection of cancer.Watershed Transform Technique is implemented as the Segmentation method in this work. Some comparative experiments using both directly applied watershed algorithm and after marking foreground and computed background segmentation methods show the improved lung segmentation accuracy in some image cases.

Laser scanning is considered as one of the most useful and fast technologies for modelling. On the other hand, the size of scan results can vary from hundreds to several million points. As a result, the large volume of the obtained clouds leads to complication at processing the results and increases the time costs. One way to reduce the volume of a point cloud is segmentation, which reduces the amount of data from several million points to a limited number of segments. In this article, we evaluated effect on the performance, the accuracy of various segmentation methods and the geometric accuracy of the obtained models at density changes taking into account the processing time. The results of our experiment were compared with reference data in a form of comparative analysis. As a conclusion, some recommendations for choosing the best segmentation method were proposed.

New Algorithms

Segmentation tasks in medical imaging represent an exhaustive challenge for scientists since the image acquisition nature yields issues that hamper the correct reconstruction and visualization processes. Depending on the specific image modality, we have to consider limitations such as the presence of noise, vanished edges, or high intensity differences, known, in most cases, as inhomogeneities. New algorithms in segmentation are required to provide a better performance. This paper presents a new unified approach to improve traditional segmentation methods as Active Shape Models and Chan-Vese model based on level set. The approach introduces a combination of local analysis implementations with classic segmentation algorithms that incorporates local texture information given by the Hermite transform and Local Binary Patterns. The mixture of both region-based methods and local descriptors highlights relevant regions by considering extra information which is helpful to delimit structures. We performed segmentation experiments on 2D images including midbrain in Magnetic Resonance Imaging and heart’s left ventricle endocardium in Computed Tomography. Quantitative evaluation was obtained with Dice coefficient and Hausdorff distance measures. Results display a substantial advantage over the original methods when we include our characterization schemes. We propose further research validation on different organ structures with promising results.
