An innovative methodology for segmenting vessel like structures using artificial intelligence and image processing by Reynaldo Villarreal, Sindy Chamorro-Solano, Steffen Cantillo, Roberto Pestana-Nobles, Sair Arquez, Yolanda Vega-Sampayo, Leonardo Pacheco-Londoño, Jheifer Paez, Nataly Galan-Freyle, Cristian Ayala, Paola Amar

“…The enhancement module processes the image using three different varaiables in the same way, which imposes a complexity of O(n) and takes 308,734 ms to execute; the segmentation module evaluates each pixel against its neighbors to correctly segment regions of interes, generating an $$O(n^{2})$$ quadratic complexity and taking 687,509 ms to execute; the masking module makes several runs through the whole image and in several occasions it calls processes of $$O(n\log n)$$ complexity at 581686 microseconds to execute, which makes it not only the most complex but also the most exhaustive part of the program. …”
