Unsupervised segmentation of lung fields in chest radiographs using multiresolution fractal feature vector and deformable models.

Segmenting lung fields in a chest radiograph is essential for automatically analyzing an image. We present an unsupervised method based on multiresolution fractal feature vector. The feature vector characterizes the lung field region effectively. A fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm is then applied...
