| Abstract: |
We present a novel HMM based approach to simultaneous segmentation of vessel walls in Lymphatic confocal images. The vessel borders are parameterized using RBFs to minimize the number of tracking points. The proposed method tracks the hidden states that indicate border locations for both the inner and outer walls. The observation for both borders is obtained using edge-based features from steerable filters. Two separate Gaussian probability distributions for the vessel borders and background are used to infer the emission probability, and the transmission probability is learned using a Baum-Welch algorithm. We transform the segmentation problem into a minimization of an s-excess graph cost, with each node in the graph corresponding to a hidden state and the weight for each node being defined by its emission probability. We define the inter-relations between neighboring nodes based on the transmission probability. We present both qualitative and quantitative analysis in comparison to the popular Viterbi algorithm. |
