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.

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.
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.

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.

A Survey on Segmentation Techniques Used For Brain Tumor DetectionEditor IJMTER
In recent years Brain tumor is one of the most commonly found causes for death among
children and adults. Early detection of tumor is a must in order to reduce the death rate. For tumor
detection various image techniques can be used. In this paper we mainly concentrate on the images
obtained from MRI scans. In MRI images, the tumor may appear clearly, but for further treatment
the physician need to be a qualified and well experienced person. In order to help the radiologist in
detection computer-aided diagnosis was developed. The generation of a CAD system consists of
several processes and among them segmentation is considered to the most important process. Image
Segmentation is a process of partitioning an image into multiple segments. The main objective of
segmentation is to represent the image into a simplified form so as to increase the efficiency and
accuracy of the system. Therefore the segmentation of brain tumor can be considered as an important
role in the medical image process. Hence in this paper we concentrate on the recently used
segmentation techniques for the detection of tumor using MRI images.
AUTOMATIC SEGMENTATION IN BREAST CANCER USING WATERSHED ALGORITHMijbesjournal
Accurate and reproducible delineation of breast lesions can be challenging, as the lesions may have complicated topological structures and heterogeneous intensity distributions. Diagnosis using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with an appropriate automatic segmentation algorithm can be a better imaging technique for the early detection of malignant breast tumours. The main objective of this system is to develop a method for automatic segmentation and the early detection of breast cancer based on the application of the watershed transform to MRI images. The algorithm was separated into three major sections: pre-processing, watershed and post-processing. After computing different segments, the final image was cleared of all noise and superimposed on the original MRI image to generate the final modified image. The algorithm successfully resulted in the automatic segmentation of the MRI images, and this can be a beneficial tool for the early detection of breast cancer. This study showed that the automatic results correctly agree with manual detection

MALIGNANT AND BENIGN BRAIN TUMOR SEGMENTATION AND CLASSIFICATION USING SVM WI...sipij
In this article a method is proposed for segmentation and classification of benign and malignant tumor slices in brain Computed Tomography (CT) images. In this study image noises are removed using median and wiener filter and brain tumors are segmented using Support Vector Machine (SVM). Then a two-level discrete wavelet decomposition of tumor image is performed and the approximation at the second level is obtained to replace the original image to be used for texture analysis. Here, 17 features are extracted that 6 of them are selected using Student’s t-test. Dominant gray level run length and gray level co-occurrence texture features are used for SVM training. Malignant and benign tumors are classified using SVM with kernel width and Weighted kernel width (WSVM) and k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) classifier. Classification accuracy of classifiers are evaluated using 10 fold cross validation method. The segmentation results are
also compared with the experienced radiologist ground truth. The experimental results show that the proposed WSVM classifier is able to achieve high classification accuracy effectiveness as measured by sensitivity and specificity.
ENHANCED SYSTEM FOR COMPUTER-AIDED DETECTION OF MRI BRAIN TUMORSsipij
The brain images are indicating what condition the brain has. The objective of this research is to design a software that will automatically classifies the brain images to their associated disorders. In order to achieve the objective of this research, a database for training and testing the software of brain images must to be found. In this research we have 105 number of images in data set. In order to differentiate between the classes of those brain images, features had to be extracted from the images. Then, images will be classified into two classes normal and abnormal by using SVM and KNN classifier. The features that were extracted were used in the classification process. The classifiers performed really well, whereas the SVM classifier performed better since its accuracy is 100% on testing set. In the end, the software was successful in separating the two classes.
Today, computer aided system is widely used in various fields. Among them, the brain tumor detection is an important task in medical image processing. Early diagnosis of brain tumors plays an important role in improving treatment possibilities and increases the survival rate of the patients. Manual segmentation of brain tumors for cancer diagnosis, from large amount of Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRI images generated in clinical routine, is a difficult and time consuming task or even generates errors. So, the automatic brain tumor segmentation is needed to segment tumor. The purpose of the thesis is to detect the brain tumor quickly and accurately from the MRI brain image. In the system, the average filter is used to remove noise and make smooth an input MRI image and threshold segmentation is applied to segment tumor region from MRI brain images. Region properties method is used to detect the tumor region exactly. And then, the equation of the tumor region in the system is effectively applied in any shape of the tumor region.

A robust technique of brain mri classification using color features and k nea...Salam Shah
The analysis of MRI images is a manual process carried by experts which need to be automated to accurately classify the normal and abnormal images. We have proposed a reduced, three staged model having pre-processing, feature extraction and classification steps. In preprocessing the noise has been removed from grayscale images using a median filter, and then grayscale images have been converted to color (RGB) images. In feature extraction, red, green and blue channels from each channel of the RGB has been extracted because they are so much informative and easier to process. The first three color moments mean, variance, and skewness are calculated for each red, green and blue channel of images. The features extracted in the feature extraction stage are classified into normal and abnormal with K-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN). This method is applied to 100 images (70 normal, 30 abnormal). The proposed method gives 98.00% training and 95.00% test accuracy with datasets of normal images and 100% training and 90.00% test accuracy with abnormal images. The average computation time for each image was .06s.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Abstract— Medical image processing is the most challenging
and are still among the growing researches. This paper is
empirical study which involves the trial and error of image
processing techniques. The image processing technique
incorporates with noise removal functions, image sharpening,
extraction of the object of interest and edge detection algorithms
which are the basic concepts of the image processing. Detection
and extraction of lesion from the MRI images are done by using
MATLAB software version R2013a. Problem statement: The
images contain noise and the edge of the tumor or lesion is ill-
defined. Possible extensions of lesion are needed to be determined
to produce better image of the tumor or lesion that can aid in
characterization of tumor or lesion. Objective: To detect the type
of noise present, to remove the noise present in the MRI image
using appropriate filter, to sharpen blurred image resulting from
smoothing filter, to segment tumor or lesion from the MRI image
and to detect the edge of the tumor or lesion extracted. Method:
Four smoothing filters are applied on the three selected MRI
images respectively. One image is selected carefully for further
image processing step which is sharpening of image. Sharpening
filters which are the Laplacian and unsharp masking are applied
on the selected images. The image that is enhanced the most is
selected for the next step which is the intensity thresholding to
extract the tumor or lesion. Five edge detection algorithms are
then applied on extracted tumor or lesion image to detect the edge.
Results: For the images selected in this study, median filter is the
most appropriate smoothing filter when compared to other
average, adaptive (Wiener) and Gaussian filters as the image
produced is less blur and appropriately smoothed. Roberts edge
detection algorithm is found to have the nearest ability to Canny
algorithm in detecting the edge of the lesion extracted from the
selected MRI images of the brain and breast. Conclusion: Image
processing technique that can be applied on medical images
comprised of many steps that are important for the image to aid it
becomes more valuable in helping the diagnosis.

I. INTRODUCTION
Image segmentation is a fundamental process that is used to
partition the image into separate regions, which ideally
correspond to different real-world object. There are many
segmentation methods that are available; however, there are no
such the algorithms that can be used as a standard algorithm for
all the type of situation. Segmentation processes can be divided
into several types, such as the edge-based segmentation, region-
based segmentation as well as intensity thresholding.
Segmentation is a process that should stop when the object that
is of interest has been isolated from the image. Edge-based
segmentation is usually used for the purposes of detecting the
lesion and the extension of the lesion.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an advanced medical
imaging modality that is widely used for diagnosing the
diseases; especially diseases related the soft tissues for example
cancerous tissues or tumor. It is has already known to have a
better delineation of the soft tissue and are excellent in detecting
the lesion related soft tissue of the body. Besides providing the
details of the soft tissue of the body, MRI is able to providing
detail information of the anatomical and functional information
of the body with the high quality of the images. Besides, the
MRI is the chosen diagnosis modality as it provides zero
radiation towards the patient compared to other diagnostic
modalities such as Computed Tomography. From these high
resolution images, the anatomical information details are
derived for the purpose of evaluate the structure of the organs
and discovery any abnormalities of the organ.
A lesion is any abnormality change that happens in the
tissue, which may be caused by the disease or trauma while the
tumor or cancerous tissue is an abnormal growth of the soft
tissues. It is may be types of benign or malignant. Benign lesion
not giving harm to the human body but this type of lesion can
sometime progressed to malignant type of lesion. Malignant
lesion give harm to the human body and are too dangerous. The
discovery of the disease either it is benign or malignant are
importance as it will helps to extend the life of patient and the
treatment purposes.
The images included in this paper are MRI images of brain
and breast tissue. Two MRI images of the brain and one MRI
image of the breast tissue are selected. These images are images
of body parts that contain lesion or tumor. The problems with
the images are the noise present within the images, and the
edges of the lesions cannot be well seen or can be further
clarified, thus, segmentation of the lesion using proper
segmentation operator is needed. As proposed by Swati, Deepa,
Paul and Sankaranarayanan (2015), the brain tumor is detected
using the edge-detection of canny algorithms as it is well known
the best edge detection tools for the discontinuity of the signal
of the image, along with the used of histogram thresholding.
While Ali, Khalaph and Nema (2014) used the techniques of
enhanced threshoding algorithm for the brain tumor detected.
By using these two experiments as references, we are interested
in using the edge segmentation algorithms, which are the
Roberts, Prewitt, Sobel, Canny and Laplacian of Gaussian and
2. intensity thresholding algorithm for detecting the lesion on the
selected images. The main purpose of this experiment is to
evaluate the performance of the noise removal algorithms and
segmentation algorithms on different images and to determine
which edge detection algorithms that are sufficient in detecting
the edge for interpretation of the lesion. The comparison will
exclude the canny algorithm because it is already known as the
best tools in detecting the edge.
II. METHODOLOGY
The proposal methodology mainly has two stages; the first
stage is to preprocessing the selected MRI images and the next
step is the segmentation process using intensity thresholding and
edge detection for the purpose of extraction and detecting edges
of the lesions. The steps are as the following:
A. Data Collection
Three MRI images of the lesion which consists of two MRI
Brain images and one image of MRI Breast are collected from
the Radiopedia.com web page. The MRI images are selected
because the MR imaging has been known to have a better
delineation of the soft tissue of the human body and are
excellent in detecting the lesion related with soft tissue disease,
for example tumor or cancerous disease. The normal appearance
of the organs in the MR images is quite similar to the
surrounding structures. With the presence of the lesions, the
contrast between the lesions and surrounding structure are quite
different but edges of the lesions are sometimes ill-defined.
B. Prepocessing
The MRI images are converted to the grayscale image for
processing procedure. Each of the images is evaluated whether
there is the presence of the noises on the image. The noises are
detected by the noise detector. One portion of area with
consistent intensity of the images is cropped and histogram of
the portions is generated using imhist function. The histogram is
compared to the histogram of the noise-model. In order to
remove the noises, different types of filters with the same size
kernel 9x9 are applied to each of the images. The size of 9x9
kernel is selected for faster removal of the noises. The noise
removal filters that are being used; the Average, Median,
Adaptive and the Gaussian filters. The effect of the noise
removal filter is a bit blur on the image, thus it is need to
sharpen the image using the sharpen filter algorithm.
The output result of the noise removal filter are evaluated
and the best image which is free from the noise is selected for
the sharpen procedure. Once the best image is selected, the
image is written with the different name. Because of there are
two images of the brain, the image is named with ‘Filtered
BrainTumor.jpg’ and Filtered BrainTumor 2.jpg’, while for the
MRI breast image, the image is named with “Filtered
BreastLesion.jpg’. For the sharpening process, two algorithms
of high-pass filter are being used, which are the Laplacian filter
and unsharp filter. Each of the three images of MRI brain and
breast are applied with the sharpening filter. For the Laplacian
filter, we need to create the Laplacian mask and add it on the
previously smoothed and denoise image for enhancing and
sharpening of the image. While for the unsharp filter, the mask
of unsharp is added on the image. The output images of the
sharpening filter are evaluated and the best image which has
enhanced the detail of the structure is selected. The selected
image is named with ‘Sharpened BrainTumor.jpg’, ‘Sharpened
BrainTumor 2.jpg’ and ‘Sharpened BreastLesion.jpg’ for
making the images easier to manage and process for the next
steps of the experiment.
Matlab function used for smoothing filters in this study:
I = imread(each image file of the three MRI images that have
been selected)
Average Filter = filter2 (fspecial (‘average’, 9) ,I) / 255
Median Filter = medfilt2 (I, [9 9])
Adaptive Filter = wiener2(I, [9 9])
Gaussian Filter = a = fspecial(‘gaussian’, [9 9], 6)
h = imfilter(I, a)
Matlab function used for sharpening filters being used:
I = imread(the image file of the smoothed image selected for the
next step)
Unsharp Masking = a = fspecial(‘unsharp’)
b = imfilter(I, a, ‘replicate’)
Laplacian = f = [-1 -1 -1; -1 8 -1; -1 -1 -1]
d = imfilter(I, f, ‘replicate’)
e = imadd(I, c)
C. Segmentation Process
The lesions are extracted from the organ using intensity
thresholding. Threshoding is a process of converting a grayscale
input image to a bi-level image. The purpose of intensity
thresholding is to produce a binary image containing a variety of
objects of different shapes and extract the pixels which meet the
rules. (Gonzalez & Woods, 2010). The regionprops is a
powerful in built function that can be used to measure the area
and parameter of each of objects in binary object along with the
function bwlabel; a matrix which has have its own features.
With using the regionprops function, the area and parameter of
the objects are calculated. The pixels that are belonging to the
lesions are retaining while the pixels that are not belong to the
lesions are removed. This can be obtained by using bwlabel
function, in which this function will assign the value of pixels,
for example all pixels belonging to the organ will have the value
of 1 and all the pixels belonging to the surrounding soft tissue
will have the value of 2.
Edge detection is the process of segmenting the pixels into
regions based on the discontinuity of the pixels value. For the
cases of the soft tissue tumors on the MRI images, the contrast
of the lesion and surrounding structures are low and sometime it
3. is quite difficult to differentiate between these tumor structures
and the healthy surrounding structures. Due to this problem, we
are assigning the pixels and thresholding the pixel first before
detecting the edges of lesion for excluding the unnecessary
signal. Edge detections are necessary for the MRI cases for
assisting of further treatment and diagnosis of the disease. There
are two types of the edge detection, which are based on the
principle of first derivative and second derivative. We are using
both of the principles and are comparing the output image of the
tumors. The algorithms of the Roberts, Prewitt, Sobel, Canny
and Laplacian of Gaussian are used in this experiment.
Function for intensity thresholding being used:
Bw = (img > 0.5*255) % to isolate the bright pixels
Lbl = bwlabel(Bw) % to assign the pixels into its belonging
structure
Props = regionprops(lbl, ‘solidity’, ‘area’)
Matlab function used for the edge detection algorithms being
used for this study:
I = imread(the image file of the smoothed and sharpened image)
Roberts = edge(I, ‘roberts’)
Prewitt = edge(I, ‘prewitt’)
Sobel = edge(I, ‘sobel’)
Canny = edge(I, ‘canny’)
Laplacian of Gaussian = edge(I, ‘log’)
The resulting images are plotted into subplots.
III. RESULT
The results are the images obtained after image enhancement
and image segmentation are done on the selected images using
Matlab R2013a. The results are subdivided into preprocessing
result and segmentation result. The preprocessing result includes
the smoothing of image to reduce noise and sharpening of the
images to sharpen the blurred image as a result from smoothing.
The segmentation result includes the result from intensity
thresholding which enable tumor or lesion to be extracted and
the result from edge detection by Roberts, Prewitt, Sobel, Canny
and Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) operators which show the
edge of the respective lesion or tumor.
A. Preprocessing Result
Noise detection
The small portion of the image is cropped and histogram is
generated for determining whether there is the presence of the
noises on the image. The histogram is then compared to the
histogram of noise-model. Based on the histogram below, there
is the evidence of Gaussian noise due to its bell-shape
appearance.

the image (middle) and histogram of the cropped portion (right)

Denoising the images
The MRI images are applied with different noise removal
algorithms using the similar pixel kernel sizes of 9x9. The
images are consists of MRI of brain tumor, brain lesion and
breast lesion. The best images with removal of nearly all noises
are selected for preceding the next sharpens process. The
resultant output images are as follow.

smoothened using Average filter (above middle), Median filter

The three MRI images are selected and the histogram is
generated to determine the types of noise present within the
image. Based on the histogram in Figure 1, 2 and 3, there is the
evidence of Gaussian noise on the three images. Four different
noise removal algorithms have been applied on each of the
images, respectively. For all the images, the median filtered
images are the best filtered images because it has smoothed the
images and produces images with better appearance compared
to the other three filters. Adaptive filter which is the Wiener
filter does preserve the information of the image but it does not
smoothed as high as Median filter. In this paper, Median filtered
images are selected due to the better smoothing effect by the
Median filter that does not cause image to be blurred as much as
Average and Gaussian filters.
Sharpening the images

5. The images that are selected after the process of noise
removal is sharpen using two types of high-pass filter, which are
the Laplacian filter and Unsharp filter. Based on the figure 4, 5
and 6, the images which are undergo for sharpen using Unsharp
filter are better compare to the images which undergo the
sharpen process using Laplacian filter. The noises can be clearly
noticed from the images with Laplacian filter. The Laplacian
filter is basically using the principle of second derivative, which
are known to have the ability of detecting the edge of the
structures but the noise are pronounced in these three images.
The image with Unsharp filter appear clear from the noise and
these images are being selected for the segmentation stage.

Gaussian operator (below, right)
The lesion on each of the images is extracted using the
intensity thresholding algorithm. Because of there is the
hyperintensity value of the skull’s pixel or signals for the
images of the brain, we need to remove the pixels belonging to
the skull before proceeding the intensity thresholding. When
comparing to the original image, the pixels of the soft tissue are
filtered out and is appear as black, or 0 while the pixels
belonging to the lesion are retain and appear as bright, or 1.
6. These are accomplished by using bwlabel function, which it
assign the pixels into its belonging structures and removed the
unneeded pixels using intensity thresholding function. The
extraction of the lesion is also aiding in detection of the lesion
because the intensity of the lesion and some structures and
quite similar, thus it is necessary to remove all unneeded pixels
and concerning only to the region of interest.
After completing the extraction process, the edge detection
algorithms are applied on each of extracted lesion. The edge
detection algorithms that are being used are composed of the
Roberts, Prewitt, Sobel, Canny and Laplacian of Gaussian. The
Canny algorithm is well known as the best tools in detecting the
edges of the structures. The main objective of our experiment is
to evaluate the edge detection algorithms in detecting the edges
of selected image. Based on the figure 8, 10 and 12, it is proven
that the canny algorithm is able to detect the low signal of the
edge of the lesion as compared to other algorithms. The
Laplacian of Gaussian are also able to detecting the low signal
since the principles that is being used is the second derivative,
however, the line edges of the lesion are not smooth and ill-
defined.
Based on the figure 8, 10 and 12, the Roberts algorithm is
the best in detecting the edge of the lesion as compared to the
Prewitt, Sobel and LoG. The line of edge of lesion is well-
defined, connecting to each other and can be said to be isolated
from the surrounding structures. For aiding the diagnosing and
treatment purposes, it is importance to have the knowledge of
the extension of the lesion. The application of edge detection
algorithm using Roberts is sufficient for these three cases of
MRI image.
IV. CONCLUSION
Segmentation is important to isolate an object of interest
from the image. The image must be enhanced by the process of
smoothing or sharpening as required segmentation process is
performed on the image. Smoothing filter that is the best in
filtering the noises present in the image should be used. The
resulting image which has been smoothed to suppress the noise
can appear blurred and the sharpening filter is used when this
happens. After that, segmentation is done using the
segmentation operator. The type of segmentation used in this
paper which is the intensity thresholding is suitable for
segmenting the lesion or tumor present in the MRI images
selected. The tumor or lesion in each image has been isolated by
intensity thresholding before edge detection algorithms, namely,
Roberts edge detection algorithm, Prewitt edge detection
algorithm, Sobel edge detection algorithm, Canny edge
detection algorithm and Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) edge
detection algorithm are performed on the extracted tumor or
lesion.
