Brain Image Segmentation based on Bilateral Symmetry Information

摘要：

Although edge information is the main clue in image segmentation, it cant get a better result in analysis the content of images without combining other information. The segmentation of brain tissue in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is very important for detecting the existence and outlines of tumors. In the paper, an algorithm about segmentation based on the symmetry character of brain MRI image is presented. Our goal is to detect the position and boundary of tumors automatically. Experiments were conducted on real pictures, and the results show that the algorithm is flexible and convenient.
