Brain tumor detection using segmentation based Object labeling algorithm

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an efficient brain tumor detection method, which can detect tumor and locate it in the brain MRI images. This method extracts the tumor by using K-means algorithm followed by Object labeling algorithm. Also, some preprocessing steps (median filtering and morphological operation) are used for tumor detection purpose. It is observed that the experimental results of the proposed method gives better result in comparison to other techniques.
