    Abstract

    In this paper, an active contour segmentation method for organs CT images based on super-pixel and convolutional neural network is proposed to solve the sensitive problem of the initial contour of the segmentation method of the CT image. The method firstly super-pixels the CT image based on super-pixel segmentation and de-termines the edge super-pixels by the super-pixel classification through a convolutional neural network. Afterwards, the seed points of the edge super-pixels are extracted to form the initial contour. Finally, based on the extracted initial contour, the human organ segmentation is realized by solving the minimum value of the integrated energy function proposed in this paper. The results in this paper show that the average Dice coefficient is improved by 5% compared with the advanced U-Net method, providing a theoretical basis and a new solution for the diagnosis of clinical CT image lesions.
