Knowledge Based Bayesian Segmentation
This ITK filter is a segmentation algorithm which utilizes Bayes's Rule along with an affine-invarient anisotropic smoothing filter.
Description
Use Case
I'd like to segment a volume or sub-volume into 'N' classes in a very general manner. I will provide the data and the number of classes that I expect and the algorithm will output a labelmap with 'N' classes.
Data
We have applied this algorithm to 20 normal brain MRI data-sets. We used publicly available data-sets from the Internet Brain Segmentation Repository (IBSR) offered by the Massachusetts General Hospital, Center for Morphometric Analysis. The IBSR data-sets are T1-weighted, 3D coronal brain scans after having been positionally normalized. Manual expert segmentations for these data-sets are publicly available and represent the ground truth used in this work.
Algorithm
This algorithm can be cast in either a static or dynamic framework. In the static framework, the following is the algorithm:
- The user sets the number of distinct classes for segmentation: 'N'
- Generate 'N' prior images (default, 'N' uniform prior images)
- Generate 'N' statistical distributions (default, 'N' normal distributions)
- Generate 'N' membership images by applying the statistical distributions to the raw data
- Generate 'N' posterior images by applying Bayes' rule to the prior and membership images
- Smooth the posterior images for 'm' iterations using an affine-invarient anisotropic smoothing filter and renormalize after each iteration (default, m = 5)
- Apply maximum a posteriori rule to apply labeling and finalize segmentation
In the dynamic framework, the following image depicts the adaptation of the static framework to the dynamic formulation:
