Abstract

An image segmentation method based on the modified intersecting cortical model (MICM) is proposed to set the MICM parameters adaptively according to the different characteristics of images and choose the optimal segmentation results automatically, which are two main obstacles for the basic intersecting cortical model (ICM) to be used in practice. Experiments show that the comprehensive evaluation value of MICM is close to those of basic pulse coupled neural network (PCNN) and basic intersecting cortical model. Compared with the fuzzy C-means algorithm and OTSU algorithm, MICM is of visually better segmentation and the comprehensive evaluation value of MICM increases by approximately 15% and 13% respectively.
