Automatic image segmentation becomes very crucial for tumor detection in medical image processing.
Manual and semi automatic segmentation techniques require more time and knowledge. However these
drawbacks had overcome by automatic segmentation still there needs to develop more appropriate
techniques for medical image segmentation. Therefore, we proposed hybrid approach based image
segmentation using the combined features of region growing and threshold segmentation technique. It is
followed by pre-processing stage to provide an accurate brain tumor extraction by the help of Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI). If the tumor has holes in it, the region growing segmentation algorithm can’t
reveal but the proposed hybrid segmentation technique can be achieved and the result as well improved.
Hence the result used to made assessment with the various performance measures as DICE, Jaccard
similarity, accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. These similarity measures have been extensively used for
evaluation with the ground truth of each processed image and its results are compared and analyzed.

Brain Tumor Segmentation and Volume Estimation from T1-Contrasted and T2 MRIsCSCJournals
Amid the variations of the cancer disease, brain tumors account for the majority deaths among young people. To diagnose and treat this deadly disease effectively, analysis of hundreds of medical images such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans is usually performed. However, the analyses of these scans are still mainly performed manually, making the procedure not only very tedious and time-consuming for doctors, but also error prone and non-repeatable. Attempts have been made to automate this procedure by performing image processing techniques such as thresholding, region-growing, unsupervised learning (e.g. k-means, fuzzy c-means clustering), and supervised learning (e.g. support vector machines). Some require human interaction. The techniques may be applied on one or more MRI sequence scans. Unfortunately, these automated attempts still result in a high level of error, and more computationally complex algorithms do not guarantee an increase in accuracy. This paper presents a novel, fully automatic brain tumor segmentation and volume estimation method using simple techniques on T1-contrasted and T2 MRIs. This new approach implemented five main steps: preprocessing using anisotropic diffusion, segmentation of tumor regions using k-means clustering, region combination using logical and Morphological operations, error checking using temporal smoothing, and volumetric measurement. When compared with five state-of-the-art algorithms, the proposed algorithm outperformed those in past works. Advances were seen by its noise reduction, increase in accuracy and closeness to actual tumor volume.
DETECTING BRAIN TUMOUR FROM MRI IMAGE USING MATLAB GUI PROGRAMMEIJCSES Journal
Engineers have been actively developing tools to detect tumors and to process medical images. Medical image segmentation is a powerful tool that is often used to detect tumors. Many scientists and researchers are working to develop and add more features to this tool. This project is about detecting Brain tumors from MRI images using an interface of GUI in Matlab. Using the GUI, this program can use various combinations of segmentation, filters, and other image processing algorithms to achieve the best results.
We start with filtering the image using Prewitt horizontal edge-emphasizing filter. The next step for detecting tumor is "watershed pixels." The most important part of this project is that all the Matlab programs work with GUI “Matlab guide”. This allows us to use various combinations of filters, and other
image processing techniques to arrive at the best result that can help us detect brain tumors in their early stages.

Image Segmentation and Identification of Brain Tumor using FFT Techniques of ...IDES Editor
The image processing tools are extensively used on
the development of new algorithms and mathematical tools
for the advanced processing of medical and biological images.
Given an MRI scan, first segment the tumor region in the
MRI brain image and study the pixel intensity values. A
detailed procedure using Matlab script is written to extract
tumor region in CT scan Brain Image and MRI Scan Brain
Image. MRI Scan has higher resolution and easier
identification compare to CT scan Brain image. Fast Fourier
Transform is used here to study the tumor region of MRI
Brain Image in terms of its pixel intensity. Types of FFT like
Zero padded FFT, Windowed FFT are used to study the signal
converted from the MRI Brain Image. It is found that lesser
spectral leakage for Zero Padded Windowed FFT than other
Types of FFT and hence the tumor cell identification is easier
than other methods. Finally higher pixel intensity values of
the cells gives identification of presence and activeness of
tumor cells.

Classification of Abnormalities in Brain MRI Images Using PCA and SVMIJERA Editor
The impact of digital image processing is increasing by the day for its use in the medical and research areas. Medical image classification scheme has been on the increase in order to help physicians and medical practitioners in their evaluation and analysis of diseases. Several classification schemes such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Bayes Classification, Support Vector Machine (SVM) and K-Means Nearest Neighbor have been used. In this paper, we evaluate and compared the performance of SVM and PCA by analyzing diseased image of the brain (Alzheimer) and normal (MRI) brain. The results show that Principal Components Analysis outperforms the Support Vector Machine in terms of training time and recognition time.

Multimodal Medical Image Fusion Based On SVDIOSR Journals
Image fusion is a promising process in the field of medical image processing, the idea behind is to
improve the content of medical image by combining two or more multimodal medical images. In this paper a
novel fusion framework based on singular value decomposition - based image fusion algorithm is proposed.
SVD is an image adaptive transform, it transforms the matrix of the given image into product USVT
, which
allows to refactor a digital image into three matrices called tensors. The proposed algorithm picks out
informative image patches of source images to constitute the fused image by processing the divided subtensors
rather than the whole tensor and a novel sigmoid-function-like coefficient-combining scheme is applied to
construct the fused result. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is an alternative image fusion
approach.
Brain tumor classification using artificial neural network on mri imageseSAT Journals
Abstract
In this paper, an attempt has been made to summarize the multi-resolution transformation and the different classifiers useful to
analyze the brain tumor using MRI. X-ray, MRI, Ultrasound etc. are different techniques used to scan brain tumor images.
Radiologist prefers MRI to get detail information about tumor to help him diagnoses. In this paper we have used MRI of brain
tumor for analysis. We have used Digital image processing tool for detection of the tumor. The identification, detection and
classification of brain tumor have been done by extracting features from MRI with the help of wavelet transformation. The MRI of
brain tumor is classified into two categories normal and abnormal brain. In this work Digital image processing has been used as
a tool for getting clear and exact details about tumor in earlier stages. This helps the physicians and practitioners for diagnoses.

Medical images provide diagnostic evidence/information about anatomical pathology. The growth in

Computed Tomography (CT), and Positron Emission Tomography CT (PET-CT) are part of clinical work.
CT images distinguish various tissues according to gray levels to help medical diagnosis. Ct is more
reliable for early tumours and haemorrhages detection as it provides anatomical information to plan radio
therapy. Medical information systems goals are to deliver information to right persons at the right time and
place to improve care process quality and efficiency. This paper proposes an Artificial Immune System
(AIS) classifier and proposed feature selection based on hybrid Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO)
with Local Search (LS) for medical image classification.

Even though a great attention has been given on the cervical cancer diagnosis, it is a tuff task to observe the
pap smear slide through microscope. Image Processing and Machine learning techniques helps the pathologist
to take proper decision. In this paper, we presented the diagnosis method using cervical cell image which is
obtained by Pap smear test. Image segmentation performed by multi-thresholding method and texture and shape
features are extracted related to cervical cancer. Feature selection is achieved using Mutual Information(MI),
Sequential Forward Search (SFS), Sequential Floating Forward Search (SFFS) and Random Subset Feature

Brain tumor detection and localization in magnetic resonance imagingijitcs
A tumor also known as neoplasm is a growth in the abnormal tissue which can be differentiated from the
surrounding tissue by its structure. A tumor may lead to cancer, which is a major leading cause of death and
responsible for around 13% of all deaths world-wide. Cancer incidence rate is growing at an alarming rate
in the world. Great knowledge and experience on radiology are required for accurate tumor detection in
medical imaging. Automation of tumor detection is required because there might be a shortage of skilled
radiologists at a time of great need. We propose an automatic brain tumor detectionand localization
framework that can detect and localize brain tumor in magnetic resonance imaging. The proposed brain
tumor detection and localization framework comprises five steps: image acquisition, pre-processing, edge
detection, modified histogram clustering and morphological operations. After morphological operations,
tumors appear as pure white color on pure black backgrounds. We used 50 neuroimages to optimize our
system and 100 out-of-sample neuroimages to test our system. The proposed tumor detection and localization
system was found to be able to accurately detect and localize brain tumor in magnetic resonance imaging.
The preliminary results demonstrate how a simple machine learning classifier with a set of simple
image-based features can result in high classification accuracy. The preliminary results also demonstrate the
efficacy and efficiency of our five-step brain tumor detection and localization approach and motivate us to
extend this framework to detect and localize a variety of other types of tumors in other types of medical
imagery.
BRAIN PORTION EXTRACTION USING HYBRID CONTOUR TECHNIQUE USING SETS FOR T1 WEI...sipij
Brain portion extraction from magnetic resonance image (MRI) of human head scan is an important
process in medical image analysis. In this paper, we propose a computationally simple and a robust brain
segmentation method. This method is based on forming a contour using the intensity values that satisfy a
set property and detect the boundary of the brain. After detecting the brain boundary the brain portion is
segmented. Experiments were conducted by applying the method on 3 volumes of T1 MRI data set collected
from Internet Brain Segmentation Repository(IBSR) and compared the results with that of the popular
skull stripping method Brain Extraction Tool (BET). The experimental results show that the proposed
algorithm gives better results than that of BET.
COMPRESSION BASED FACE RECOGNITION USING DWT AND SVMsipij
The biometric is used to identify a person effectively and employ in almost all applications of day to day
activities. In this paper, we propose compression based face recognition using Discrete Wavelet Transform
(DWT) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The novel concept of converting many images of single person
into one image using averaging technique is introduced to reduce execution time and memory. The DWT is
applied on averaged face image to obtain approximation (LL) and detailed bands. The LL band coefficients
are given as input to SVM to obtain Support vectors (SV’s). The LL coefficients of DWT and SV’s are fused
based on arithmetic addition to extract final features. The Euclidean Distance (ED) is used to compare test
image features with database image features to compute performance parameters. It is observed that, the
proposed algorithm is better in terms of performance compared to existing algorithms.
Steganography is a technique of concealing the secret information in a digital carrier media, so that only
the authorized recipient can detect the presence of secret information. In this paper, we propose a spatial
domain steganography method for embedding secret information on conditional basis using 1-Bit of Most
Significant Bit (MSB). The cover image is decomposed into blocks of 8*8 matrix size. The first block of
cover image is embedded with 8 bits of upper bound and lower bound values required for retrieving
payload at the destination. The mean of median values and difference between consecutive pixels of each
8*8 block of cover image is determined to embed payload in 3 bits of Least Significant Bit (LSB) and 1 bit
of MSB based on prefixed conditions. It is observed that the capacity and security is improved compared to
the existing methods with reasonable PSNR.

The objective of this paper was to develop a means of rapidly obtaining RGB image data, as part of an

standalone GUI (graphical user interface) software application called RGBExcel was developed to extract
RGB image data from any colour image files of any format. For a given image file, the output from the
software is an Excel file with the data from the R (red), G (green), and B (blue) bands of the image
contained in different sheets. The raw data and any enhancements can be visualized by using the surface
chart type in combination with other features. Since Excel can plot a maximum dimension of 255 by 255
pixels, larger images are downscaled to have a maximum dimension of 255 pixels. Results from testing the
application are discussed in the paper.

Indian Sign Language (ISL) interpretation is the major research work going on to aid Indian deaf and dumb people. Considering the limitation of glove/sensor based approach, vision based approach was considered for ISL interpretation system. Among different human modalities, hand is the primarily used modality to any sign language interpretation system so, hand gesture was used for recognition of manual
alphabets and numbers. ISL consists of manual alphabets, numbers as well as large set of vocabulary with grammar. In this paper, methodology for recognition of static ISL manual alphabets, number and static symbols is given. ISL alphabet consists of single handed and two handed sign. Fourier descriptor as a feature extraction method was chosen due the property of invariant to rotation, scale and translation. True
positive rate was achieved 94.15% using nearest neighbourhood classifier with Euclidean distance where
sample data were considered with different illumination changes, different skin color and varying distance
from camera to signer position.

Considering the limitation of glove/sensor based approach, vision based approach was considered for ISL interpretation system. Among different human modalities, hand is the primarily used modality to any sign language interpretation system so, hand gesture was used for recognition of manual
alphabets and numbers. ISL consists of manual alphabets, numbers as well as large set of vocabulary with grammar. In this paper, methodology for recognition of static ISL manual alphabets, number and static symbols is given. ISL alphabet consists of single handed and two handed sign. Fourier descriptor as a feature extraction method was chosen due the property of invariant to rotation, scale and translation. True
positive rate was achieved 94.15% using nearest neighbourhood classifier with Euclidean distance where
sample data were considered with different illumination changes, different skin color and varying distance
from camera to signer position.

Efficient Reversible Data Hiding Algorithms Based on Dual Predictionsipij
In this paper, a new reversible data hiding (RDH) algorithm that is based on the concept of shifting of
prediction error histograms is proposed. The algorithm extends the efficient modification of prediction
errors (MPE) algorithm by incorporating two predictors and using one prediction error value for data
embedding. The motivation behind using two predictors is driven by the fact that predictors have different
prediction accuracy which is directly related to the embedding capacity and quality of the stego image. The
key feature of the proposed algorithm lies in using two predictors without the need to communicate
additional overhead with the stego image. Basically, the identification of the predictor that is used during
embedding is done through a set of rules. The proposed algorithm is further extended to use two and three
bins in the prediction errors histogram in order to increase the embedding capacity. Performance
evaluation of the proposed algorithm and its extensions showed the advantage of using two predictors in
boosting the embedding capacity while providing competitive quality for the stego image.
Symbolic representation and recognition of gait an approach based on lbp of ...sipij
Gait is one of the biometric techniques used to identify an individual from a distance by his/her walking
style. Gait can be recognized by studying the static and dynamic part variations of individual body contour
during walk. In this paper, an interval value based representation and recognition of gait using local
binary pattern (LBP) of split gait energy images is proposed. The gait energy image (GEI) of a subject is
split into four equal regions. LBP technique is applied to each region to extract features and the extracted
features are well organized. The proposed representation technique is capable of capturing variations in
gait due to change in cloth, carrying a bag and different instances of normal walking conditions more
effectively. Experiments are conducted on the standard and considerably large database (CASIA database
B) and newly created University of Mysore (UOM) gait dataset to study the efficacy of the proposed gait
recognition system. The proposed system being robust to handle variations has shown significant
improvement in recognition rate.
Computer apparition plays the most important role in human perception, which is limited to only the visual band of the electromagnetic spectrum. The need for Radar imaging systems, to recover some sources that
are not within human visual band, is raised. This paper present new algorithm for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images segmentation based on thresholding technique. Entropy based image thresholding has
received sustainable interest in recent years. It is an important concept in the area of image processing.
Pal (1996) proposed a cross entropy thresholding method based on Gaussian distribution for bi-modal images. Our method is derived from Pal method that segment images using cross entropy thresholding based on Gamma distribution and can handle bi-modal and multimodal images. Our method is tested using
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images and it gave good results for bi-modal and multimodal images. The
results obtained are encouraging.
Semi blind rgb color image watermarking using dct and two level svdsipij
This paper presents semi blind RGB color image wate
rmarking using DCT and two-level SVD. First, RGB
image is divided into red, green, and blue channels
. The blue component is divided into blocks accordi
ng
to the watermark size. Second, DCT is applied to ea
ch block to form a new block in the transform domai
n.
DC component is retrieved and assembled from each b
lock to form a new matrix of 128x128 pixels. SVD is
applied to the resultant matrix to obtain matrices,
U, S and V. The watermark is embedded into the S
matrix. The watermark can be extracted without orig
inal host image, however, matrices U1, S and V1 are
required. Experimental results indicate that the pr

t is
more robust against common types of attacks such as
filtering, adding noise, geometric and compression
attacks.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SKIN COLOR BASED MODELS FOR FACE DETECTIONsipij
Human face detection plays an important role in many applications such as face recognition , human
computer interface, biometrics, area of energy conservation, video surveillance and face image database
management. The selection of accurate color model is the first need of the face detection. In this paper, a
study on the various color models for face detection i.e. RGB, YCbCr, HSV and CIELAB are included. This
paper compares different color models based on the detection rate of skin regions. The results shows that
YCbCr as compared to other color models yields the best output even in varying lightening conditions.
Vocabulary length experiments for binary image classification using bov approachsipij
Bag-of-Visual-words (BoV) approach to image classification is popular among computer vision scientists.
The visual words come from the visual vocabulary which is constructed using the key points extracted from
the image database. Unlike the natural language, the length of such vocabulary for image classification is
task dependent. The visual words capture the local invariant features of the image. The region of image
over which a visual word is constrained forms the spatial content for the visual word. Spatial pyramid
representation of images is an approach to handle spatial information. In this paper, we study the role of
vocabulary lengths for the levels of a simple two level spatial pyramid to perform binary classifications.
Two binary classification problems namely to detect the presence of persons and cars are studied. Relevant
images from PASCAL dataset are being used for the learning activities involved in this work
BRAIN PORTION EXTRACTION USING HYBRID CONTOUR TECHNIQUE USING SETS FOR T1 WEI...sipij
Brain portion extraction from magnetic resonance image (MRI) of human head scan is an important process in medical image analysis. In this paper, we propose a computationally simple and a robust brain segmentation method. This method is based on forming a contour using the intensity values that satisfy a set property and detect the boundary of the brain. After detecting the brain boundary the brain portion is segmented. Experiments were conducted by applying the method on 3 volumes of T1 MRI data set collected
from Internet Brain Segmentation Repository(IBSR) and compared the results with that of the popular skull stripping method Brain Extraction Tool (BET). The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm gives better results than that of BET.
A new two stage FxNLMS algorithm based ANC system with secondary path modelling was proposed in
[15].Performance analysis of this system with real signals has been carried out using computer simulation.
Simulation studies showed that the system after trained with WGN can be successfully used for reducing
wide sense broad band noise.This paper also explores the intelligibility of speech signals in the quiet zone
created by the ANC system. The utterances of phonetically balanced Harvard sentences with different
SNRs are propagated through the quiet zone and the intelligibility of the resultant speech signal is
measured using MOS (Mean Opinion Score) test. Encouraging results are obtained which indicates that
the two stage FxNLMS algorithm based ANC system can find application in mobile phone communication.

A HYBRID APPROACH BASED SEGMENTATION TECHNIQUE FOR BRAIN TUMOR IN MRI IMAGESsipij
Automatic image segmentation becomes very crucial for tumor detection in medical image processing. Manual and semi automatic segmentation techniques require more time and knowledge. However these drawbacks had overcome by automatic segmentation still there needs to develop more appropriate techniques for medical image segmentation. Therefore, we proposed hybrid approach based image segmentation using the combined features of region growing and threshold segmentation technique. It is followed by pre-processing stage to provide an accurate brain tumor extraction by the help of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). If the tumor has holes in it, the region growing segmentation algorithm can’t reveal but the proposed hybrid segmentation technique can be achieved and the result as well improved. Hence the result used to made assessment with the various performance measures as DICE, Jaccard similarity, accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. These similarity measures have been extensively used for evaluation with the ground truth of each processed image and its results are compared and analyzed.

Brain tumor is a malformed growth of cells within brain which may be
cancerous or non-cancerous. The term ‘malformed’ indicates the existence of tumor. The
tumor may be benign or malignant and it needs medical support for further classification.
Brain tumor must be detected, diagnosed and evaluated in earliest stage. The medical
problems become grave if tumor is detected at the later stage. Out of various technologies
available for diagnosis of brain tumor, MRI is the preferred technology which enables the
diagnosis and evaluation of brain tumor. The current work presents various clustering
techniques that are employed to detect brain tumor. The classification involves classification
of images into normal and malformed (if detected the tumor). The algorithm deals with
steps such as preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification of MR brain
images. Finally, the confirmatory step is specifying the tumor area by technique called
region of interest.
FUZZY SEGMENTATION OF MRI CEREBRAL TISSUE USING LEVEL SET ALGORITHMAM Publications
The current study investigated a median filter with the fuzzy level set method to propose fuzzy segmentation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cerebral tissue images. An MRI image was used as an input image. A median filter and fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering were utilized to remove image noise and create image clusters, respectively. The image clusters showed initial and final cluster centers. The level set method was then used for segmentation after separating and extracting white matter from gray matter. Fuzzy c-means was sensitive to the choice of the initial cluster center. Improper center selection caused the method to produce suboptimal solutions. The proposed algorithm was successfully utilized to segment MRI cerebral tissue images. The algorithm efficiently performed segmentation of test MRI cerebral tissue images compared with algorithms proposed in previous studies.

Performance Measures.
1. INTRODUCTION
Hybrid Segmentation technique integrating two or more techniques which is efficiently giving
better results than the segmentation algorithms working alone. This is all possible in the field of
Image Processing, predominantly in the area of medical image segmentation [1, 2, 6 and 15].
Image segmentation means separating the objects from the background. Image segmentation acts
as a heart to the classification technique. The, proposed system mainly focused on medical
imaging to extract tumor and especially in MRI images. It has high-resolution and accurate
positioning of soft and hard tissues, and is especially suitable for the diagnosis of brain tumors [1,
2 and 6]. So this type of imaging is more suitable to identify the brain lesions or tumor. Brain
tumor is abnormal white tissues which can be differed from normal tissues. This could be
identified by the structure of tissues. The MRI images which contains tumor that are shown
below:
Figure 1: Representation of various tumor images.
2. Signal & Image Processing : An International Journal (SIPIJ) Vol.7, No.1, February 2016

Generally, tumors are looking like solid white tissues or consist of holes. Figure 1, seems the
tumor variation and (a) represents a solid tumor, (b) the variations among tumor cells and (c)
consist hole in the tumor part. Figure 1b, c are unable to identify by the region growing
segmentation. Therefore, the threshold segmentation is intently combined with the region
growing for result improvement.
2. RELATED WORKS
Gurjeet kaur Seerha et.al [3], worked with various segmentation algorithms. Now-a-days plenty
of segmentation techniques are used for segment the images but there is not even a single method
worked for all types of images. So they are discussed to develop a segmentation technique which
is used to solve a single problem in all types of images. Kalaivani et.al [5], discussed about
automatic seed selection for a region growing segmentation. In region growing segmentation seed
point selection plays crucial role. The fully worked for a color image segmentation. And they
worked on its algorithm’s speed, noise immunity, atomicity, accuracy, etc. for a brain tumor
image. Iraky khalifa, et.al [6], worked with hybrid method for the segmentation of MRI brain
tumor images and they analyze its quality. Manoj kumarV et.al [9], has been discussed various
segmentation algorithms for an MRI images and analyze the performance of those algorithms. V.
Murali, et.al [10], discussed some segmentation algorithms and compares their performance with
an MRI brain tumor images. N. A. Mat-Isa, et.al [11, 16], had worked on brain tumor MRI
images [11] worked with seeded region growing algorithm[7, 14] and extracting features for
classification from an image using segmentation. The features are useful for classification. H.P.
Narkhede, et.al [4, 10, 12, 14, 22, 23], had review on various segmentation techniques and
evaluates the performance of these techniques and analyzed its quality. Partha Sarathi Giri [13],
had been worked with an digital image and extracting text information from a digital image.
Rajesh Dass, et.al [15], worked on digital images with various segmentation algorithms. T.Romen
Singh, et.al [17, 18], worked in threshold techniques; in [17] they especially worked in adaptive
threshold segmentation. K.Srinivas, et.al [19], presented fuzzy measure with c means using
automatic histogram threshold. As far as the segmentation, threshold value is essential for
binarization, they calculated the value from histogram to apply this value in segmentation
algorithm. Sukhjinder Singh, et.al [20], discussed to work with a matlab and to develop an image
processing applications in matlab.
3. PROPOSED WORK
MRI brain image explicitly contains tumor portion is taken as an input image. This work contains
three phases.
Phase 1: The pre-processing steps (i.e. Gray scale conversion, contrast enhancement) have
done.
Phase 2: The results of single seed region growing and threshold segmentation results are
multiplied.
Phase 3: Performance of the proposed system can be measured by the various quality metrics.
In region growing segmentation seed point selection is necessary step. Two types of seed point
selections are in the seeded region growing.
(i) Semi automated seed point selection.
(ii) Fully automated seed point selection.
If seed point has selected manually during run time that called as semi-automatic segmentation. In
fully automated segmentation, automated seed point selection is made. Automated seed point is
3. Signal & Image Processing : An International Journal (SIPIJ) Vol.7, No.1, February 2016
23
selected in many ways as, centre pixel/fixed, random and high intensity seed points. In threshold
segmentation, threshold value is more essential. It has two types as
(i) Single value threshold
(ii) Multi threshold
If the threshold segmentation works with the single threshold value which is called single value
threshold segmentation otherwise, it’s multi value threshold segmentation.
In this proposed system centre pixel/fixed seed point is utilized for region growing segmentation
and single threshold value for threshold segmentation. By experimental and performance of this
hybrid segmentation is measured which will perform well and gives expected output that is
considered as a good segmentation to extract tumor as it is.
4. METHODOLOGY
In this system some useful methods are applied to achieve an expected result. These methods are
ordered according their usage. The overall process flow of the proposed system is shown below:
Figure 2: Flow Diagram of overall process.
4.1. Pre-Processing
The input images are abnormal brain tumor MRI images. Even the MRI image having high
definition in visualizing soft tissues, there is a need of contrast enhancement [1]. Before this, gray
scale conversion is needed because it reduces complexity than color image. Visually, in the image
no noises can be identified. Some techniques have to be applied in the image those are median
filter and stationary wavelet technique. These are helps to extract features from an image.
Practically, the MRI images are enhanced using the combinations of contrast, median filter and
stationary wavelet methods gave better result for segmentation.
4.2. Hybrid Segmentation Approach
Hybrid segmentation is a prime method and an appealing approach to attaining the targeted brain
tumor image segmentation. The major problem in single seed region growing is inability to
expose the holes in the tumor. So this problem is revealed by this hybrid segmentation technique.
The expected result can be done by the combined techniques of single seed region growing and
single threshold segmentation. The performance of this proposed hybrid technique result depends
4. Signal & Image Processing : An International Journal (SIPIJ) Vol.7, No.1, February 2016
24
on similarity measures used by the method and its implementation. Before proceeding to the
performance evaluation part, a brief methodology of the hybrid segmentation algorithms is given
below:
4.2.1. Seed Region Growing
This technique is accomplished by using single seed point [14]. A single seed point or pixel is
taken and all the neighboring pixels are related to this seed forms the region r. The following
criteria involved in the region growing segmentation:
1. Seed point should be selected automatically.
2. Seed point must have minimum distance with its neighbor pixels.
3. For a predictable region, at least one seed should be generated to produce the region.
4. Seeds of different regions should be disconnected.
During implementation, the minimum pixel distance is taken as a default process. The region is
iteratively grown by evaluating all non-distributed neighboring pixels to the region. The variation
between the value of pixel intensity and the mean of region is used as a measure of similarity. The
pixel with the minimum difference measured is allocated to the particular region. This process
stops when the intensity variation between region mean and new region become larger than a
certain seed. Finally the output image is given by combining both the regions. Thus the
segmented image using single seed region growing is formed as a binary image.
From the process which are less working favorable with the region growing segmentation so, to
improve its performance by using threshold segmentation. Finally performance is analyzed by the
appropriate measures.
4.2.2. Threshold segmentation method
Threshold is one of the image segmentation methods which are predominantly used to selecting
an appropriate threshold value T, the gray image can be converted into binary image. The
outcome should contain the entire decisive information about the objects position and shape. The
threshold value (T) is obtained from the gray image and it can be classified into black (0), and
White (1). The global threshold is used and the objective function is
Where is an input image, g(x,y) threshold/segmented image, T threshold value.
The process of threshold segmentation is:
1. Initial estimate of threshold T.
2. Perform segmentation using T
(i) P1, pixels brighter than T
(ii) P2, pixels darker than T.
3. Apply average intensities m1 and m2 of P1 and P2.
4. Compute new threshold value
5. If │T - Tnew│˃∆T, repeat step 2.
Otherwise stop the process.
5. Signal & Image Processing : An International Journal (SIPIJ) Vol.7, No.1, February 2016
25
where m1 and m2 are mean of intensities, P1 and P2 is a probability of brighter and darker pixels
and T and Tnew are the thresholds.
While it is natural and convergence, it can get enclosed in local mean and results can differ
considerably depending on the thresholds. It can be obtaining the significant result when its
combined with region growing segmentation.
4.2.3. Performance measures for analysis
The common performance measures of segmentations are: Jaccard distance, dice measures,
Accuracy, Sensitivity, Specificity, Precision, Recall, F-Measure and G-mean of ground truth
images and segmented images.
a. Jaccard distance
The Jaccard distance can be measured dissimilarity between expected and observed images, is
complementary to the Jaccard coefficient and is acquired by subtracting the Jaccard coefficient
from one.
If X and Y are both empty, we define J(X, Y) = 1. 0 ≤ J(x, y) ≤ 1. Jaccard coefficient is used to
measure similarity [16]. It computes the similarity between segmented and ground truth image.
Jaccard’s distance values lies between 0 and 1. Jaccard distance reaches its best value at 1 and
worst value at 0. The objects having a 0 value along with their variables show a lower similarity.
b. Dice Coefficient
The dice coefficient D is one of a number of measures of the extent of spatial overlap between
two binary images. It is commonly used in performance measures of segmentation and gives
more weighting to instances where the two images agree [16]. Its values range between 0 (no
overlap) and 1 (expected image).
c. Accuracy, Precision and Recall
The accuracy regards to systematic errors and precision is related to random errors. The
accuracy is directly proposed to true results consider both true positives and true negatives among
the total number of cases scrutinized. To make the context clear by the semantics, it is frequently
defined as the "rand accuracy". It is a parameter of the test.
Conversely, precision (i.e. positive predictive value) is referred as the direct proportion of the true
positives against all the results of positives (both true positives and false positives).

The high precision means that an algorithm returned substantially more appropriate results than
irrelevant, whereas high recall means that an algorithm returned most of the pertinent results.
• TP: True Positive, means segmented images of ground truth and observed images are
equal.
• FP: False Positive, means segmented images of ground truth and observed images are not
equal.
• FN: False Negative, means non ground truth image is equal to the observed image.
• TN: True Negative, means non ground truth image is equal to non tumor image.
d. F Measure
In statistical analysis of binary segmentation, the F1 score (also F-score or F-measure) is a
measure of a test's accuracy. The F1 score can be construed as a weighted average of the precision
and recall, whereas an F1 score reaches its best value at 1 or nearer to 1 and worst value at 0 or
nearer to 0. It can be defined as
e. G-measure
While the F-measure is the harmonic mean of Recall and Precision, the G-measure is the geo-
metric mean.
5. RESULT AND ANALYSIS
5.1. Results
The hybrid segmentation technique is used to segment the MRI brain tumor images. An image is
first pre-processing by converting into gray image and it is denoised using various techniques
such as median filter and Stationary wavelet transforms. Already we worked with these combine
features of denoising technique [2] which gave the results more favourable for this segmentation.
This pre-processed image is segmented using the combined features of single seed region
growing and threshold segmentation methods. The obtained results are analyzed by the quality
measures.
5.2. Analysis
The result of hybrid segmentation technique is compared with the combinations of region
growing and threshold segmentation techniques. In this analysis, similarity of the ground truth
image and various observed segmented images are evaluated. In figure 3, 1st
row images are the
output of region growing segmentation, 2nd
row represents the result of threshold segmentation,
and 3rd
row shows the result of hybrid segmentation.

Figure 3: Segmentation results.
Figure 3, clearly shows the new hybrid segmentation method can able to generate the expected
results by experimentally.
Image quality or performances are measured by the Jaccard distance and dice similarity. These
measures purely designated to find the similarity between two binary images. Both Dice and
Jaccard distance must higher value to facilitate the greater similarity between ground-truth
segmented image and observed image. Therefore, both the values should be nearer 1, denotes the
higher similarity.

Figure 4: Performance analysis of various segmentations.
• In table 1, Jaccard distance and dice should be high similarity and similarity must be high
for better segmentation.
• Jaccard distance and dice having the range 0 to 1.
• These measurements measure the percentage of correct decisions made by the algorithms
and the maximum value indicates the maximum similarity.

• As per the results of Figure 4 & table 1, hybrid segmentation proves to be efficient by
showing high Jaccard distance and Dice values than all other Methods.
Table 2: Performance analysis based on various segmentation techniques.
As far as this table 2 concerned the performance results, hybrid segmentation algorithm has
higher accuracy, precision, recall, f and g measure values. While considering these measures
nearer to 1 is efficient. Especially the accuracy should be nearer or equal to 1 that shows the
efficiency of the hybrid method. But on taking both precision and accuracy measures into
accounts the hybrid segmentation method serves as the best.
Figure 5: Evaluation graph using performance measures.
On seeing the overall performance, the new hybrid segmentation proves to be better than the
other methods compared above. In figure 5, evaluation graph shows the performance of four
images. So the proposed model selects & uses centre seed point and global threshold values for
the process of hybrid segmentation.
6. CONCLUSION
The hybrid segmentation is the combination of Single seed region growing and threshold based
segmentation which has been proposed to segment brain tumor images. This can be helped to
improve the results of region growing segmentation. The new hybrid method is applied on several
images and experiment results of performance are compared and analyzed with the ground truth
image. In this work, comparative analysis of various performance metrics have been obtainable. It
gives a clear decision from the experiments and performance that evaluating algorithms on an
image data set leads to different ranking depending on the metrics chosen. This paper compares
the performance of some segmentation algorithms such as single seed region growing, threshold
segmentation and hybrid segmentation. The analysis of segmented images according to accuracy,
Recall, F-measure, G-measure and precision it shows higher values. This result shows the hybrid
segmentation gives better result on seeing the overall performance than two methods. The
extension of the work would be the classification of tumor types with the new improved features.
