In this paper, a novel context-dependent fuzzy set associated statistical model-based intensity inhomogeneity correction technique for magnetic resonance image (MRI) is proposed. The observed MRI is considered to be affected by intensity inhomogeneity and it is assumed to be a multiplicative quantity. In the proposed scheme the intensity inhomogeneity correction and MRI segmentation is considered as a combined task. The maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) estimation principle is explored to solve this problem. A fuzzy set associated Gibbs' Markov random field (MRF) is considered to model the spatio-contextual information of an MRI. It is observed that the MAP estimate of the MRF model does not yield good results with any local searching strategy, as it gets trapped to local optimum. Hence, we have exploited the advantage of variable neighborhood searching (VNS)-based iterative global convergence criterion for MRF-MAP estimation. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is established by testing it on different MRIs. Three performance evaluation measures are considered to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme against existing state-of-the-art techniques. The simulation results establish the effectiveness of the proposed technique. |
