Problems solved by technology

However, the existing level set method, including the LSACM level set involved in the present invention, usually assumes that the gray scale of the image in a small local area is approximately uniform, and for the convenience of processing, it is generally uniformly predetermined in a local area. Scale, this assumption can achieve good results for the segmentation of ordinary grayscale uneven images, but it is not suitable for segmentation of severe grayscale uneven images

Abstract

The invention discloses a multi-scale-based local statistic active contour model (LSACM) level set image segmentation method. The offset field B epsilon, a variance sigma i epsilon and a level set function Phi(x) in an LSACM level set method are initialized. The quantity L(x) for describing a local area characteristic in a multi-scale LSACM method is calculated. A differential characteristic d(X) which describes a multi-scale local area is calculated. The maximum response M of a high pass filter in the multi-scale LSACM method is calculated. A local area simulation gray Ci epsilon is updated. The offset field B epsilon is updated. The variance sigma i epsilon is updated. The purpose of curve evolution is achieved through solving the partial differential equation minimum value corresponding to a multi-scale LSACM level set energy function. If a set number of iterations is achieved, the iteration operation is stopped, the curve evolution is ended, and if the number of iterations is not achieved, the iteration is continued. The invention provides the multi-scale LSACM level set method, a gray uneven image can be effectively segmented, and the phenomena of excessive segmentation and insufficient segmentation in an image segmentation method are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of medicine, computer vision, image processing and the like, in particular to an image segmentation method based on a multi-scale local statistical active contour model (LSACM) level set. Background technique [0002] Image segmentation has always been a research hotspot in the field of computer vision, including medical image segmentation. For example, the liver is the largest solid organ in the abdominal cavity of the human body. There are many types of diseases and high incidence. In various medical imaging methods, CT imaging and MR imaging can reflect pathological morphological manifestations, but these images have a large amount of data, low contrast, and the gray level of the image is close to the surrounding tissue, and the border is blurred. The general method is not easily divisible. [0003] In recent years, level set methods have been widely used in medical image segmentation. Since the evolution curve ...
