Abstract:
Segmentation is a vital step for pattern recognition systems used in in-body imaging scenarios. In this paper we compare the performance of three popular segmentation algorithms (mean shift, normalized cuts, level-sets) when applied to two distinct in-body imaging scenarios: chromoen-doscopy and narrow-band imaging. Observation shows that the model-based algorithm did not perform well, when compared to its segmentation by clustering alternatives. Normalized cuts obtained the best performance although future work hints that texture similarity should be further explored in order to increase segmentation performance in this type of scenarios.
