WinMammo Global Segmentation
These are unedited screenshots taken from WinMammo running on Microsoft® Windows 2000 Professional. They show the results of the global segmentation algorithm applied to mammogram image mdb321 from the MIAS MiniMammography Database.
Breast OutlineThis is the result of the global segmentation algorithm. The breast region is enclosed within a solid outline.  Equalised HistogramThis screenshot shows the above result of the global segmentation image with a histogram equalization applied. This clearly shows the problem of the background containing grey scale values of similar intensity to the subcutaneous tissue, and highlights the problem of global segmentation in mammogram images.  |
