Abstract
Medical image segmentation is a frequent processing step in image understanding and computer aided diagnosis. In this paper, we propose medical image texture segmentation using texture filter. Three different image enhancement techniques are utilized to remove strong speckle noise as well enhance the weak boundaries of medical images. We propose to exploit the concept of range filtering to extract the texture content of medical image. Experiment is conducted on ImageCLEF2010 database. Results show the efficacy of our proposed medical image texture segmentation.
