VLSI Implementation of Brain Tumor Segmentation Using Fuzzy C-Mean Clustering

Image segmentation is a technique and process which divide the image into different feature of region and extract out the interested target. Segmentation allows extracting objects in images.  Medical experts spend a large amount of time in segmenting tumor volume in medical images. The task of image segmentation is actually the partition of an image into a number of non overlapping regions, each with distinct properties. The tumor analysis is done by the use of image segmentation. Tumor of brain will be segmented by use of various methods. The method as fuzzy c mean which is to be used to segment the brain image is proposed. And then the algorithm based on the method of compensation factor method which is to be usually segmenting the brain tumor is implemented. This segmentation process could be effective in the bio-medical applications. For this implementation the algorithm is done in hardware as FPGA. This will be useful for the real time implementation of this process. The hardware as SPARTAN is used and designed by using the software as Xilinx Platform Studio.
