Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSegmentation of Medical Image using Clustering and Watershed AlgorithmsM.C. Jobin Christ, R.M.S. ParvathiProblem statement: Segmentation plays an important role in medical imaging. Segmentation of an image is the division or separation of the image into dissimilar regions of similar attribute. In this study we proposed a methodology that integrates clustering algorithm and marker controlled watershed segmentation algorithm for medical image segmentation. The use of the conservative watershed algorithm for medical image analysis … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 22 Oct 2011 · 8,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Cluster Feature-Based Incremental Clustering Approach to Mixed DataA. M. Sowjanya, M. ShashiProblem statement: The main objective of this study is to develop an incremental clustering algorithm that can handle numerical as well as categorical attributes in a given dataset. The authors have previously reported a cluster feature-based algorithm, CFICA that can handle only numerical data.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Rough Set based Gene Expression Clustering AlgorithmJ. Jeba Emilyn, K. RamarProblem statement: Microarray technology helps in monitoring the expression levels of thousands of genes across collections of related samples. Approach: The main goal in the analysis of large and heterogeneous gene expression datasets was to identify groups of genes that get expressed in a set of experimental conditions. Results: Several clustering techniques have been proposed for identifying gene signatures and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 28 Jun 2011 · 6,833 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Efficient Unified K-Means Clustering Technique for Microarray Gene Expression DataP. Valarmathie, K. Dinakaran, T. RavichandranProblem statement: Using microarray techniques one could monitor the expressions levels of thousands of genes simultaneously. One challenge was how to derive meaningful insights into expressed data. This might be carried out by clustering techniques such as hierarchical and k-means, but most of the clustering techniques were largely heuristic in nature and are associated with some unresolved issues like how … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 28 Jun 2011 · 6,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Approach to Medical Image SegmentationNandagopalan Shanmugam, Adiga B. Suryanarayana, Sudarshan TSB et al.Problem statement: Segmentation is a vital aspect of medical imaging. It aids in the visualization of medical data and diagnostics of various diseases. Ultrasound image segmentation, in particular echocardiographic image segmentation, is required to identify the regions of interest such as Left Ventricle (LV) and other cardiac cavities. Existing methods do not address the drawbacks of speed and quality of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 7,216 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSummarizing Relational Data Using Semi-Supervised Genetic Algorithm-Based Clustering TechniquesRayner AlfredProblem statement: In solving a classification problem in relational data mining, traditional methods, for example, the C4.5 and its variants, usually require data transformations from datasets stored in multiple tables into a single table. Unfortunately, we may loss some information when we join tables with a high degree of one-to-many association. Therefore, data transformation becomes a tedious trial-and-error work and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,588 accessesView PDFCite
