Design and implementation

Abstract

In previous chapter, the weaknesses of conventional segmentation methods have been identified. This concludes the desired segmentation criteria in order to guide the mechanism of the proposed framework of segmentation. The segmentation is performed to partition the hand bone from its background and soft-tissue region in the beginning of this chapter. The challenges of hand bone segmentation are the overlapping intensity between the soft-tissue region and the spongy bone region within the hand bone. Three modules of techniques will be discussed and implemented to solve the problem in this chapter.
