Abstract

The invention relates to a brain MRI (magnetic resonance image) segmentation method based on an improved fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm. The method comprises steps that 1, initial classification is carried through utilizing the fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm; 2, the clustering quantity c, a fuzzy factor m, an algorithm iteration stop threshold Epsilon, the maximum iteration times max, a neighborhood window size and other artificial setting parameters are given; 3, a similarity matrix W of two pixels is calculated; 4, similarity rhoki of pixel pair types is calculated; 5, a membership matrix U is updated; 6, if ||U(t+1)-U(t)||<Epsilon, or t=max, iteration stops, U(t+1) is outputted, otherwise t=t+1, and the process turns to the step 4; and 7, for U(t+1), the maximum membership algorithm is employed to carry out deblurring operation, and label distribution is carried out to accomplish image segmentation. Through the method, three-portion optimization including improving a clustering center mode, introducing the partial space information and utilizing the intuitionistic fuzzy set information is accomplished, effects of noise resistance enhancement and segmentation precision improvement are realized, and an actual problem of high-precision segmentation for a brain MRI is solved.

Description

[0001] (1) Technical field [0002] The invention relates to an image segmentation method based on an improved fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm, belongs to the field of digital image processing, and mainly relates to fuzzy set theory and image clustering segmentation technology. It has broad application prospects in medical image processing systems. [0003] (2) Background technology [0004] Divide the image into several non-overlapping areas according to the features such as grayscale, color, texture, and shape of the image, and make these features appear similar in the same area and show obvious differences in different areas. This process is for image segmentation. Image segmentation is the basis of image recognition and understanding, and the quality of the segmentation result will directly affect the accuracy of the subsequent process. Therefore, it is of great significance to design and realize an effective and high-precision image segmentation algorithm. Due to the ...
