Medical Image segmentation deals with segmentation of tumor in CT and MR images for improved quality in medical diagnosis. Geometric Vector Flow (GVF) enhances the concave object extraction capability. However, it suffers from high computational requirement andsensitiveness to noise. This paper intends to combine watershed algorithm with GVF snake model to reduce the computational complexity, to improve the insensitiveness to noise, and capture range. Specifically, the image will be segmented firstly through watershed algorithm and then the edges produced will be the initial contour of GVF model. This enhances the tumor boundaries and tuning the regulating parameters of the GVF snake mode by couplingthe smoothness of the edge map obtained due to watershed algorithm. The proposed method is compared with recent hybrid segmentation algorithm based on watershed and balloon snake. Superiority of the proposed work is observed in terms of capture range, concave objectextraction capability, sensitivity to noise, computational complexity, and segmentation accuracy. |
