Image enhancement of lymph node based on cloud-model and clustering
Li Li · Journal of Guangzhou University · 2013
The pathological change of lymph node is an important basis of malignant tumor detection and judgment of cancer metastasis.Therefore,the image quality of lymph node is very important for the doctors to conduct pathological analysis.Based on the combination of cloud model and peak threshold method,the initial cluster centers of fuzzy C-means(FCM) clustering is obtained automatically,the clustering effect of FCM is enhanced greatly,the image edge details of lymph node are also retained,the impact of the dispersion of a discrete frequency distribution is reduced.The experimental results show that the proposed method makes the image clearer in fuzzy edge of the target area.
