Segmentation methods, combining spectral and spatial information, are essential for analysis of multi-spectral images. In this article, we propose such a method based on statistical pattern recognition algorithms and a combined classifier approach. A set of experiments is presented with multi-spectr

โฆ Synopsis
Three different systematic approaches to generate multiple classifiers in atlas-based biomedical image segmentation are compared. Different atlases, as well as different parametrization of the registration algorithm, lead to different atlasbased classifiers. The classifier outputs are combined and compared to a manual ground truth segmentation. Classifier combination consistently improved classification accuracy with the biggest improvement from multiple atlases. We conclude that multi-classifier techniques have a natural application to atlas-based segmentation and increase classification accuracy in real-world segmentation problems.

The problem considered in this paper is how to classify image databases in terms of semantically coherent image categories. An image category (image concept) is represented by a set of images with visual and semantic similarities. We propose a topological framework to model each image concept and al
Segmentation of nontrivial images is one of the most important tasks in image processing. It is easy for human being, but extremely difficult for computers. With the purpose of finding optimal segmentation algorithm for every image through learning from human experience, this paper investigates the
