Abstract

Skull stripping is an important aspect of study in the field of Medical image processing. It eliminates the present non-cerebral tissues from the MR image to improve the speed and accuracy of the algorithm. An unsupervised double segmentation based method has been proposed for faster processing. Threshold values required for double segmentation are obtained using the Otsu algorithm. This method avoids the conventional Morphological Opening and Morphological Closing operations to enhance the speed of the algorithm. Experimental result shows that the proposed system can strip the skull portion from a brain MR image at 0.155 seconds.Keywords: Skull, unsupervised, segmentation, otsu, opening, closing.Cite this Article: Sushanta Debnath, Fazal A.
