Analysis of Various Segmentation Techniques to Diagnose the Possible Liver Disorder

A. Ambika, K.C. Anu, Dr. Shoba Rani

Abstract


Liver being the vital organ of human beings, diseases related to liver is considered to be more serious. This paper focuses on various segmentation techniques used to diagnose the abnormality functioning of liver. Image segmentation is considered to be a major process as it involves partitioning the image into smaller segments based on various features that includes intensity value of the image, color, etc.


Keywords


Image Segmentation, Segmentation Techniques, Boundary Tracking, Thresholding.
