Image Segmentation Method of Gibbs Random Field Accelerated by GPU / 医疗卫生装备

ABSTRACT

Objective To propose an improved C-means segment method based on Gibbs random field accelerated by GPU.Methods The parallel computation of pixel shades was used to take the place of the classical point-by-point method of CPU.By this way,the efficiency was higher than merely using the CPU computation.Results The efficiency of computation was improved over 400%.The load of CPU was reduced and the effect of accelerator was obvious.Conclusion The improved C-means segment method based on Gibbs random field accelerated by GPU enhances the clinical application of image segmentation,the computer rate of which is improved distinctly and closely to real time.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2008,29(2)6-9]
