Closed-boundary extraction of large intestinal lumen

Abstract

Describes a new boundary extraction algorithm, based on the integration of fuzzy rule-base region growing and fuzzy rule-base edge detection. This new approach is applied on the colonoscopic images for the identification of closed-boundary of intestinal lumen, to facilitate diagnosis of colon abnormalities.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
