Deep neural networks (DNN) have shown their success through computer vision tasks such as object detection, classification, and segmentation of image data including clinical and biological data. However, supervised DNNs require a large volume of labeled data to train and great effort to tune hyperparameters. The goal of this study is to segment cardiac images in movie data into objects of interest and a noisy background. This task is one of the essential tasks before statistical analysis of the images. Otherwise, the statistical values such as means, medians, and standard deviations can be erroneous. In this study, we show that the combination of unsupervised and supervised machine learning can automatize this process and find objects of interest accurately. We used the fact that typical clinical/biological data contain only limited kinds of objects. We solve this problem at the pixel level. For example, if there is only one object in an image, there are two types of pixels: object pixels and background pixels. We can expect object pixels and background pixels are quite different and they can be grouped using unsupervised clustering methods. In this study, we used the  k -means clustering method. After finding object pixels and background pixels using unsupervised clustering methods, we used these pixels as training data for supervised learning. In this study, we used logistic regression and support vector machine. The combination of the unsupervised method and the supervised method can find objects of interest and segment images accurately without predefined thresholds or manually labeled data.
