Description
1. You have been asked to develop a medical imaging system to process a time series of 3-dimensional images of the heart, yielding a 4-dimensional image array with indices x, y, z, t. Give two distinct connectivity relations that could be used. What are a pixel’s neighbors under each connectivity relation?

An image has object and background pixels whose brightness values are distributed according to the Rayleigh distribution with parameters σo and σb with 0 < σb < σo. The probability of a pixel having brightness k is given by

Ima Robot wants to segment the image into object and background.
-
-
Assuming that background and object pixels are equally likely, find the decision rule that maximizes the probability of a correct decision, that is, pick the greater of Po and Pb.
-
How does your answer to a. change if background and object pixels are not equally likely? Suppose that there are No object pixels and Nb background pixels, so that the total number of pixels is N=No+Nb. What is the new threshold T?

-
Threshold the image such that ~50% of the pixels are black and ~50% are white.

Some other method of your choosing. Explain your method.
