Abstract

Improving TB studies has long been a overlooked area, partly because of the complexities involved in getting the infection at risk. The novelty of this job lies in the strategy in which both computer vision methods and laboratory-based work are carried out to improve the human race. In this job, the gap between clinical research and technical studies has been decreased by bringing both the job together. Image processing is a field that does not require contact processes to be detected with patients. Over the previous two centuries, several algorithms have been created to extract the contours of homogeneous areas within the digital image. It is possible to acquire the input for image processing algorithms from scanned Lungs X-ray images. To detect the lung region, the fundamental image processing methods are applied to the CT scan picture. In this project, Image segmentation of the input pictures is carried out using a suggested technique developed from the K Means algorithm and bounding box algorithm along with Morphological Image Processing to acquire the output pictures and outcome comparison.
