In medical image processing, segmentation is an important and challenging task. It is classically used to identify object contours and extract the object from the image. Tumor Classification is an significant in medical image analysis since it provides information related to anatomical structures as well as possible anomalous tissues necessary to treatment planning and patient follow-up. In this study, a new approach for automatic classification of brain tumor in enhanced MRI images is developed. Our proposed method consists of Five steps: i) Preprocessing ii) Tumor Region Segmentation iii) Feature Extraction using Wavelet and Level set method iv) Feature Selection and v) Feature Classification using Ada-Boost classifier. The experimental results are validated using the evaluation metrics such as sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. Our proposed system experimental results are compared to other neural network based classifier such as Feed Forward Neural Network (FFNN) and Radial Basics Function (RBF). The classification accuracy of proposed method produces better results compared to other leading tumor classification methods.
As digital imaging and computing power increasingly develop, so too does the potential to use these technologies in ophthalmology. Image processing, analysis and computer vision techniques are increasing in prominence in all fields of medical science, and are especially pertinent to modern ophthalmology, as it is heavily dependent on visually oriented signs. We describe a novel technique that utilizes the global information of the segmented vascular structure to correctly identify true vessels in a retinal image. The model segmented vascular structure as a vessel segment graph and transform the problem of identifying true vessels to that of finding an optimal forest in the graph. An objective function to score forests is designed based on directional information. Our proposed solution employs candidate generation and expert knowledge to prune the search space. Each vessel is tracked individually by repeatedly finding the next vessel point with a scoring function that considers the pixel intensity and orientation in the vicinity of the current point in the image. Bifurcations and crossovers are detected using some intensity profile. Tracking for the same vessel then continues along the most likely path. The importance of our proposed work disambiguate between vessels at bifurcations and crossovers, we need to figure out if linking a vessel segment to one vessel will lead to an adjacent vessel being wrongly identified .
Retinal image having very vital information. It plays important roles in finding of some diseases in early stages, such as diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. In this proposed system a new algorithm used to detect the blood vessels effectively from the retinal image. The initial image enhancement is carried out by using Adaptive Histogram Equalization, followed by the curvelet Transforms are applied to the equalized image and the curvelet coefficients are obtained. The modifications to the Curvelet transform coefficients are carried out by suppressing all the coefficients of one band. This combined effect of the equalization and the Curvelet Transforms provides a better enhancement to the image. This enhanced image is used for the extraction of blood vessels. Afterward, eliminate the ridges not belonging to the vessels tree by morphological operators by reconstruction while trying to preserve the thin vessels unchanged. In order to increase the efficiency of the morphological operators by reconstruction, they were applied using multi-structure elements and local adaptive thresholding method along with connected components analysis (CCA) indicates the remained ridges belonging to vessels.
