Segmentation of blurred objects by classification of isolabel contours

作者:

Highlights:

• The algorithm is suitable for segmentation of grayscale blurred homogeneous objects.

• The objects are segmented by SVM classification of isolabel contours.

• Labeling training images is reduced to specifying contours on isolabel-contour map.

• Classification of isolabel contours allows using of global object features.

• High performance is demonstrated for segmentation of brain lesions in MRI.
