Abstract

Objective of image segmentation is to group regions with coherent characteristics. This paper presents a comparative study on Random walk techniques for Left ventricle segmentation. In this paper, LV cavity segmentation is demonstrated for each technique using multi-slice MR cardiac images. The quality of segmentation process is measured by comparing the resulted images of different Random walk techniques using DICE coefficient, PSNR and Hausdorff distance. The comparison includes measuring the execution time of each technique.
