Virtual reality plays a major role in medicine in the aspect of diagnostics and treatment planning. From the diagnostics perspective, automated methods yields the segmented results into virtual environment which will helps the physician to take accurate decisions on time. Virtual reality of 3D brain tissue segmentation helps to diagnostic the brain related diseases like alzheimer's disease, brain malformations, brain tumors, cerebellar disorders and etc. The work proposed a fully automatic histogram-based self-initializing K-Means (HBSKM) algorithm is performed on compute unified device architecture (CUDA) enabled GPU (QudroK5000) machine to segmenting the human brain tissue. Number of clusters (K) and initial centroids (C) automatically calculated from the mid image from the volume through Gaussian smoothening technique. The experimental dataset was collected from internet brain segmentation repository (IBSR) in segmenting the three major tissues such as grey matter (GM), white matter (WM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to experiment the efficiency of the present parallel K-Means algorithm. Computation time is calculated between the homogenous and heterogeneous environment of CPU and GPU for HBSKM algorithm. This proposed work achieved 6× speedup folds while heterogeneous CPU and GPU implementation and 3.5× speedup folds achieved with homogenous GPU implementation. Finally, volume of segmented brain tissue results was presented in virtual 3D and also compared with ground truth results.
