A cooperative semi-supervised fuzzy clustering framework for dental X-ray image segmentation

作者:

Highlights:

• We concentrated on the dental X-ray image segmentation problem.

• A new framework combining Otsu, FCM and semi-supervised fuzzy clustering was shown.

• It was tested on real datasets from Hanoi Medical University in terms of accuracy.

• The new framework has better performance than the relevant methods.

• Suggestions on means and variances of the criteria of the new framework were made.
