Abstract

Brain image segmentation has a major role in medical image analysis for better interpretation of complex medical diagnosis such as tumor detection. The challenge of brain tumor detection is to detect accurately the tumor portion inside the brain image. In this work, we propose a multiobjective clustering framework to separate tumor regions from a brain image based on the neighbor nearest strategy. Applied to magnetic resonance image brain, our method provides an accurate identification of brain tumor.
