Objective
This project will investigate the presence and location of the epileptogenic focus in temporal lobe by analyzing patterns of texture in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after segmentation using anisotropic diffusion filters anomalous and geodesic active contour.
Progress
Methods for segmentation and texture features extraction are written into ITK
