Abstract
In this paper, we propose a fully automatic technique for brain tumor segmentation from multispectral human brain MRIs. We first use the intensities of different patches in multispectral MRIs to represent the features of both normal and abnormal tissues and generate a dictionary for following tissue classification. Then, the sparse representation classification (SRC) is applied to classify the brain tumor and normal brain tissue in the whole image. At last, the Markov random field (MRF) regularization introduces spatial constraints to the SRC to take into account the pair-wise homogeneity in terms of classification labels and multispectral voxel intensities. Our method was evaluated on 20 multi-modality patient datasets with competitive segmentation results.
