A comparative study of Image Region-Based Segmentation Algorithms
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Image segmentation has recently become an essential step in image processing as it mainly conditions the interpretation which is done afterwards. It is still difficult to justify the accuracy of a segmentation algorithm, regardless of the nature of the treated image. In this paper we perform an objective comparison of region-based segmentation techniques such as supervised and unsupervised deterministic classification, non-parametric and parametric probabilistic classification. Eight methods among the well-known and used in the scientific community have been selected and compared. The Martin’s(GCE, LCE), probabilistic Rand Index (RI), Variation of Information (VI) and Boundary Displacement Error (BDE) criteria are used to evaluate the performance of these algorithms on Magnetic Resonance (MR) brain images, synthetic MR image, and synthetic images. MR brain image are composed of the gray matter (GM), white matter (WM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and others, and the synthetic MR image composed of the same for real image and the plus edema, and the tumor. Results show that segmentation is an image dependent process and that some of the evaluated methods are well suited for a better segmentation.
