SEGMENTASI CITRA THORAX PARU-PARU MANUSIA DARI SINAR-X MENGGUNAKAN METODE KONTUR AKTIF

Research on medical image objects in the form of lung images of thoracic X-Rayis increasingly being developed because the information contained in medical images is used to analyze and determine the shape of the lungs. The process of normalization and image improvement is needed and continued with the segmentation process using the right method. The active snake contour method is used because it is resistant to the noise around the object. The research has been usedthe Matlab software GUI program version R2015a. The image through the initial preprocessing stage is converted into a grayscale image. The segmentation process used after the initialization process in the form of a small circle curve placed of the object to be segmented and the determination position of the active contour or detemination of the active parameters of the contour. Determination of the value active contour parameters greatly influences the results of segmentation and influences the direction of active contour movement. If the active coordinate position of the contour is outside the area to be segmented it will cause active contours to move away from the object. Validation the level of accuracy of segmentation results is done by comparing the results of the snake active contour segmentation to the results of manual segmentationused MSE method
