SRIS: Saliency-Based Region Detection and Image Segmentation of COVID-19 Infected Cases

Abstract: Noise or artifacts in an image, such as shadow artifacts, deteriorate the performance of stateof-the-art models for the segmentation of an image. In this study, a novel saliency-based region detection and image segmentation (SRIS) model is proposed to overcome the problem of image segmentation in the existence of noise and intensity inhomogeneity. Herein, a novel adaptive level-set evolution protocol based on the internal and external functions is designed to eliminate the initialization sensitivity, thereby m… Show more

“…A Simplified Pulse Coupled Neural Network (SPCNN) is used to segment the COVID-19 and pneumonia CT images. It is based on salient object detection to determine the region of interest [25][26][27]. The settings of the SPCNN are changed in the proposed model to intensity-ofpixel settings.…”

“…A novel saliency-based region detection algorithm and an active contour segmentation strategy are applied to segment COVID-19 and pneumonia CT images. In image segmentation, saliency refers to a pixel or object appearance in an obvious way among its neighbors and illustrates the unique characteristics of an image [28]. The saliency information can be used to segment the image.…”

“…Saliency detection is extensively used to mitigate the complexity of image analysis and speed up the processing time, and it has gained popular applications in the disciplines of computer vision and artificial intelligence [8,10]. The numerous application domains of saliency include image segmentation [11][12][13][14], object detection and recognition [15][16][17], anomaly detection [18,19], image retrieval [20,21], image compression [22], object classification [23], object tracking [24], image retargeting, and summarization [25,26], alpha matting [26], target detection [27], video object segmentation [28], video summarization [29], user perceptions of digital video contents [30], and visual tracking [31]. Countless applications of saliency detection have led to the occurrence of numerous methods for saliency computation.…”
