An unsupervised orthogonal rotation invariant moment based fuzzy C-means approach for the segmentation of brain magnetic resonance images

作者:

Highlights:

• Local Zernike moment-based bias corrected fuzzy C-means method has been proposed.

• A simple regularization parameter free segmentation framework has been developed.

• The proposed method is robust to several anomalies present in the MR images.

• The proposed method preserves edges, corners, and fine structures of the image.

• Superior segmentation results are demonstrated through detailed experimentation.
