In this work, we propose a novel behavioural comparison strategy specifically oriented to accuracy assessment in MRI glial tumour segmentation studies. A salient aspect of the proposed strategy is the use of the fuzzy set framework in modelling visual inspection and interpretation processes. In particular, a reference estimation strategy based on fuzzy connectedness principles is designed to merge individual labels and produce a common segmentation. The estimation is based exclusively on highly reliable partial information provided by experts. Interaction is then drastically limited compared with a complete manual tracing, leaving the estimation of the complete segmentation to the fuzzy connectedness method. A set of experiments was conceived and conducted to evaluate the contribution of the solutions proposed in the process of truth label collection and reference data estimation.

Abstract
In this work, we propose a novel behavioural comparison strategy specifically oriented to accuracy assessment in MRI glial tumour segmentation studies. A salient aspect of the proposed strategy is the use of the fuzzy set framework in modelling visual inspection and interpretation processes. In particular, a reference estimation strategy based on fuzzy connectedness principles is designed to merge individual labels and produce a common segmentation. The estimation is based exclusively on highly reliable partial information provided by experts. Interaction is then drastically limited compared with a complete manual tracing, leaving the estimation of the complete segmentation to the fuzzy connectedness method. A set of experiments was conceived and conducted to evaluate the contribution of the solutions proposed in the process of truth label collection and reference data estimation. A comparison analysis was also developed to see whether our method could constitute a worthy alternative to well-known and state-of-the-art solutions.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
