Abstract

The task in this research is to evaluate the efficiency of the six level-set algorithms in 2D brain segmentation on a given MRI image. For both algorithms and the comparison contour used for the computation of the dice criteria, the initialization used is the same MATLAB tool-backed application is used to measure the efficiency, particularly in biomedical image processing, of different level-based segmentation algorithms. This work includes a comparative study of clustering algorithms according to their performance. Although some findings indicate that MRI images segmentation of the brain tumor is time-consuming, it is an essential work.
