Suggested Algorithm for medical Image Segmentation Using Fractal geometry
Abstract
Texture extraction and analysis are regarded as important operations in image processing field for various computer applications.In this research, fractional dimension has been used in the process of texture extraction and analysis of various medical images. 2D Variation and Box Counting algorithms were used to extract the textured image and segment the radiation image based on the extracted textures.This research first adopted common and used methods in 2D variation algorithm, as well as a proposed method to adopt this algorithm. Practical experiments showed the efficiency of the proposed method in the process of texture extraction with execution time less than the time required by other common used methods.
