A Hybrid hierarchical approach for brain tissue segmentation by combining brain Atlas and least square support vector machine

In this paper, we present a new semi-automatic brain tissue segmentation method based on a hybrid hierarchical approach that combines a brain atlas as a priori information and a least-square support vector machine (LS-SVM). The method consists of three steps. In the first two steps, the skull is rem...
