Robust demarcation of basal cell carcinoma by dependent component analysis-based segmentation of multi-spectral fluorescence images
This study was designed to demonstrate performance of the novel dependent component analysis (DCA)-based approach to robust demarcation of the basal cell carcinoma (BCC) through unsupervised decomposition of the red-green-blue (RGB) fluorescent image of the BCC. Robustness to intensity fluctuation is due to the scale invariance property of DCA algorithms, which exploit spectral diversity between the BCC and the surrounding tissue. DCA represents an extension of the independent component analysis (ICA) and is necessary in order to account for statistical dependence that is induced by spectral similarity between the BCC and surrounding tissue. This generates weak edges what represents a challenge for other segmentation methods as well. By comparative performance analysis with state-of-the-art image segmentation methods such as active contours (level set), K-means clustering, non-negative matrix factorization, ICA and ratio imaging we experimentally demonstrate good performance of DCA-based BCC demarcation in demanding scenario where intensity of the fluorescent image has been varied almost two-orders of magnitude.
