How to arrange pixels for appropriate threshold

10 views (last 30 days)
I have two mammography image .
I want to segment tumor area and for this using threshold method.
But image intensities are different for every image so it affect my result badly.
I tried to calculate mean intensity of image with using "meanIntensity = mean(grayImage(:)) " and if condition statement according this value for threshold, but it doesn't work again in a right way.
I mean mdb005 image I am using threshold > 155 to get good result but for mdb013 I have to choose >210 or other values. (İf I choose >155 it shows huge for mdb013)
But if I choose >210 this time mdb005 tumor dissappear.
What to do for these two image to segment exact tumor automatically.
I used @Image Analystcodes in the past questions and combine with other codes and created this codes.
images attached
clc; % Clear the command window.
close all; % Close all figures (except those of imtool.)
clear; % Erase all existing variables. Or clearvars if you want.
workspace; % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.

% Get the name of the image the user wants to use.

fullFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileName);

% Get the dimensions of the image.
% numberOfColorChannels should be = 1 for a gray scale image, and 3 for an RGB color image.
[rows, columns, numberOfColorChannels] = size(grayImage);
if numberOfColorChannels > 1
% It's not really gray scale like we expected - it's color.
% Use weighted sum of ALL channels to create a gray scale image.
grayImage = rgb2gray(grayImage);
% ALTERNATE METHOD: Convert it to gray scale by taking only the green channel,
% which in a typical snapshot will be the least noisy channel.

Sorry I can't put it on my agenda. I simply don't have enough time to code up all the interesting papers I run across. Plus I don't want to rob you of all the glory you said would come your way once you write it.
