Abstract
This paper presents a new approach for medical image analysis. It translates the object region-detection problem into a sensor array processing framework and detects the number of object regions based on the signal eigenstructure of the converted array system. The theoretical and experimental results obtained by using this approach on various medical images were in good agreement.
