Robust tongue segmentation by fusing region-based and edge-based approaches

作者：

Highlights：

• A novel method to extract region of interest (ROI) from original image is proposed.

• The difficulties and limitations of tongue segmentation are analyzed.

• An improvement is made to the traditional region-based segmentation.

• A strategy to fuse edge-based and region-based segmentation methods is presented.

• Both qualitative and quantitative evaluations are conducted.
