摘要
Segmenting two-dimensional images of the prostate into prostate and nonprostate regions is required when forming a three-dimensional image of the prostate from a set of parallel two-dimensional images. The texture-based segmentation method presented here is a pixel classifier based on four texture energy measures associated with each pixel in the image. An automated clustering procedure is used to label each pixel in the image with the label of its most probable class. The segmented images produced as the result of applying the algorithm to an example image are presented and discussed. The automated segmentation algorithm has been found to hold promise as an automated segmentation method. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
