Segmentation of nerve fibers by introducing intensity priority in level set

摘要：

The segmentation of the optic nerve fibers is importantfor the morphometry study of optic nerve. However, such studiesare hampered by the thousands of fibers involved when manualsegmentation has to be used. We have developed an automaticsegmentation method which is principally based on improvedChan-Vese level set model which integrating myelin sheathintensity priority. Next, identify the axon candidates by labelingclosed region based on marker. Our results indicate that thisapproach for segmenting nerve fiber images is efficient, andadvisable compared to manual segmentation.
