    Abstract: This paper proposes a new speed approach for the segmentation of the lung images in order to detect and extract the tumor region. The approach consists of two main stages, which are the preprocessing stage, marker watershed stage and the tumor detection stage. The preprocessing consists of laplacian filtering to enhance edges and make the next stag... Show More
