Abstract

In this paper, we propose the method to extract the anatomical objects in medical images using active contour models and genetic algorithms. The performance of active contour models is mostly decided by the optimization of active contour model's energy. So, we propose to use genetic algorithms to optimize the energy of active contour models. We experimented our proposed method on the femoral head medical images and proved that our method provides very acceptable results from any initialization of active contour models.

본 논문에서는 active contour model과 유전 알고리즘을 이용하여 의료영상에서 해부학적 객체의 경계선을 자동으로 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. active contour model의 성능은 active contour model의 에너지를 최적화 하는 방법에 크게 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 유전 알고리즘을 이용하여 active contour model의 에너지를 최적화 하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 방법을 대퇴골두 의료영상에 적용하여 실험하였으며, active contour model의 초기화에 관계없이 성공적인 결과를 얻었음을 보였다.
