image segmentation using split and merge

hi, iam working on matlab for the first time.i trying to implement the split and merge segmentation method to find out the exact location of the tumour using brain mri scans(i.e dicom images). plz help me out regarding matlab code in a detail manner.... thanking u...

Have your code read in the image, then execute the algorithm on the image.

this is not that much help full for me because i need the code for split and merge segmentation of brain mri image to extract the brain tumor... i fell very happy and very help full for me if you provided code for that....

thank you....

"Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a “universal segmenter.” Each set of similar images generally requires a customized approach."

"Still related to the splitmerge algorithm you suggest in your book"

"The book has an implementation of the merge procedure"

This suggest to me that reading the referenced book would be a good idea, and that unless you are using stock images, you are probably going to need to create (or at least tune) your own split routine.

first of all thank for your immediate reply.... please provide me the links that will helpful in writing code for that in detail...

thnk you...

In the split merge discussion I referred you to in Steve's blog, it says that the book's website is http://www.imageprocessingplace.com/
