Abstract
In this chapter, the functionality of proposed MBOBHE and the modified anisotropic diffusion will be justified. Both techniques create a suitable environment for the subsequent segmentation modules by reducing the disturbance of uneven illumination, sharpening the edge and smoothing the texture; at the same time, MBOBHE is capable of enhancing the features of ossification sites to improve the performance of computerized BAA. After that, an analytical comparison of AAM segmentation framework with the proposed segmentation framework is performed.
