Image Segmentation Using Texture and Relaxation Labeling Algorithms

When normal density or intensity segmentation is not effective enough, a new representation of texture which is derived from the spatial energy of the texture is introduced in order to segment the given image. From the energy values, a 2D histogram of texture is generated. The texture histogram is used to discriminate textures and to retrieve image segmentation. In an attempt to assess the similarities in the regional areas, the property of adjacency could be useful. This characteristic of pixels is defined as a co-occurrence matrix, which is an important tool in Image Segmentation using Texture and Relaxation Labeling Algorithms.

Medical Image Processing

Taking advantage of the high capability of computers, offering advantages over film based systems, several image processing techniques are of interest, especially for medical purposes in order to get most of the information out of the given medical images. Essentially, medical imaging can make use of texture information, texture feature classification or texture segmentation because of the nature of the medical image itself. Medical assessment can then be made fully automated later on and this will lead to a reduction of human errors, increasing of consistency and repeatability. This can be distributed to the remote areas or hospitals that lack sophisticated treatment facilities or trained experts.
