Abstract
A cluster-based approach and template-based approach are combined to segment brain matter from a three-dimensional MRI image of voxels. The morphological information captured by the template-based approach may be used to refine the segmentation produced by the cluster-based approach. Conversely, the 'similarity' information captured by the cluster-based approach may be used to refine the segmentation produced by the template-based approach.
