An automatic segmentation method based on image patch matching strategy was proposed to realize the automatic segmentation of glomerular basement membrane automatically. First of all, according to the characteristics of the glomerular basement membrane, the search range was extended from a reference image to multiple reference images, and an improved searching method was adopted to improve matching efficiency. Then,the optimal patches were searched out and the label image patches corresponding to the optimal patches were extracted, which were weighted by matching similarity. Finally, the weighted label patches were rearranged as the initial segmentation of glomerular basement membrane, from which the final segmentation could be obtained after morphological processing. On the glomerular Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) dataset, the Jaccard coefficient is between 83% and 95%. The experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve higher accuracy.
