A Comparative Study of Different Segmentation Techniques for Brain Tumour Detection

Brain tumour detection is one of the challenging tasks in medical image processing. The present study discusses in detail the segmentation process by means of histogram clustering, Global thresholding, Watershed segmentation and edge based segmentation. Six MRI images from radiologists were collected and the experiments were conducted for statistical analysis also. A comparative study is made and the results are of great interest and practical utility.
