The successive projection algorithm as an initialization method for brain tumor segmentation using non-negative matrix factorization.

Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) has become a widely used tool for additive parts-based analysis in a wide range of applications. As NMF is a non-convex problem, the quality of the solution will depend on the initialization of the factor matrices. In this study, the successive projection algo...
