Fusion of spatial relationships for guiding recognitionexample of brain structure recognition in 3D MRI

From LRDE

Abstract

Spatial relations play an important role in recognition of structures embedded in a complex environment and for reasoning under imprecision. Several types of relationships can be modeled in a unified way using fuzzy mathematical morphology. Their combination benefits from the powerful framework of fuzzy set theory for fusion tasks and decision making. This paper presents several methods of fusion of information about spatial relationships and illustrates them on the example of model-based recognition of brain structures in 3D magnetic resonance imaging.
