Abstract

In this paper, kernel fuzzy c-means (KFCM) was used to generate an initial contour curve which overcomes leaking at the boundary during the curve propagation. Firstly, KFCM algorithm computes the fuzzy membership values for each pixel. On the basis of KFCM the edge indicator function was redefined. Using the edge indicator function the image segmentation of a medical image was performed to extract the regions of interest for further processing. The above process of segmentation showed a considerable improvement in the evolution of the level set function.
