In this paper we present automatic segmentation of the brain into four classes namely background, cerebro spinal fluid, grey matter and white matter. Accurate segmentation of the tumor in the brain is also achieved using the proposed method. Segmentation is achieved by calculating the distance of pixel with respect to the mean and passing only those pixels having a specified variance by assuming a Gaussian distribution
