Abstract EN
Image segmentation is one of the basic concepts widely used in each and every fields of image processing.
The entire process of the proposed work for image segmentation comprises of 3 phases: Threshold generation with Dynamic Modified Region Growing phase (DMRG), texture feature generation phase and region merging phase.
by dynamically changing two thresholds, the given input image can be performed as DMRG, in which the cuckoo search optimization algorithm helps to optimize the two thresholds in modified region growing.
after obtaining the region growth segmented image, the edges are detected with edge detection algorithm.
In the second phase, the texture feature is extracted using entropy based operation from the input image.
In region merging phase, the results obtained from the texture feature generation phase is combined with the results of DMRG phase and similar regions are merged by using a distance comparison between regions.
The proposed work is implemented using Mat lab platform with several medical images.
the performance of the proposed work is evaluated using the metrics sensitivity, specificity and accuracy.
the results show that this proposed work provides very good accuracy for the segmentation process in images.
