Abstract: Image segmentation and its performance evaluation are vital aspects in computer vision although they are challenging to resolve. Segmentation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain images is essential to facilitate the neurological diseases diagnosis. Nevertheless, evaluation of segmentation accuracy has been fundamentally subjective that leads to difficulties in judging the effectiveness of the techniques implemented. This paper proposes an implementation of evaluation method known as image mosaicing in evaluating the MRI brain abnormalities segmentation study. Fifty seven mosaic images are formed by cutting various shapes and sizes of abnormalities, and pasting it onto normal brain tissues. The knowledge of pixel sizes of abnormalities is used as the ground truth to compare with various segmentation results. Three methods of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Adaptive Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Fuzzy c-Means (FCM) are used to segment the !
mosaic images formed. The accuracies of image mosaicing segmentation are assessed using statistical analysis methods of Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis. The statistical results obtained exhibit some variations that reflect the methods implemented. Thus, the proposed implementation of image mosaicing method is found to be acceptable as it produces potential solutions to the current difficulties of brain abnormalities segmentation performances evaluation.
