摘要：Accurate medical images analysis plays a vital role for several clinical applications. Nevertheless, the immense and complex data volume to be processed make difficult the design of effective algorithms. The first aim of this paper is to examine this area of research and to provide some relevant reference sources related to the context of medical image analysis. Then, an effective hybrid solution to further improve the expected results is proposed here. It allows to consider the benefits of the cooperation of different complementary approaches such as statistical-based, variational-based and atlas-based techniques and to reduce their drawbacks. In particular, a pipeline framework that involves different steps such as a preprocessing step, a classification step and a refinement step with variational-based method is developed to identify accurately pathological regions in biomedical images. The preprocessing step has the role to remove noise and improve the quality of the images. Then the classification is based on both symmetry axis detection step and non linear learning with SVM algorithm. Finally, a level set-based model is performed to refine the boundary detection of the region of interest. In this work we will show that an accurate initialization step could enhance final performances. Some obtained results are exposed which are related to the challenging application of brain tumor segmentation.
