Bio-Medical Image Segmentation using Wavelet Based Fusion Technique

Abstract

In recent years, bio-medical image segmentation is established itself as base for image analysis. This article proposes a new method in developing a robust wavelet based medical image fusion technique for image segmentation. A GLCM (Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix) based statistical method is used to extracts the texture features of the image decomposed at single level and the image is segmented based on region growing method. The combination of these two along with fusion technique gives a new segmented image. The results indicate the efficiency of the proposed method in segmenting the both normal cell images as well as darker cell images.
