摘要

Image segmentation plays a key role in the field of biomedical image processing. This provides a path for better and early diagnosis of diseases. The brain tissue segmentation is a major problem to diagnose the abnormalities present in the internal organs in the brain anatomy. In this article, a Self-Organizing Map (SOM)-based clustering technique is discussed for brain tissue segmentation from Magnetic Resonance Imaging representations. The abnormal growth of cells in the brain is segmented and provides a segmented boundary of the brain. The obtained results of SOM clustering technique are compared with a fuzzy clustering method and the outputs are illustrated. The evaluation metrics show an accuracy of 93.9% which is 1.3% greater than the existing method.
