Image segmentation by histogram thresholding using hierarchical cluster analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a new method of image thresholding by using cluster organization from the histogram of an image. A new similarity measure proposed is based on inter-class variance of the clusters to be merged and the intra-class variance of the new merged cluster. Experiments on practical images illustrate the effectiveness of the new method. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Hybrid Image Segmentation using Discerner Cluster in FCM and Histogram Thresholding
Image thresholding has played an important role in image segmentation. This paper presents a hybrid approach for image segmentation based on the thresholding by fuzzy c-means (THFCM) algorithm for image segmentation. The goal of the proposed approach is to find a discerner cluster able to find an automatic threshold. The algorithm is formulated by applying the standard FCM clustering algorithm ...
متن کاملSAR image segmentation using Color space clustering and Watersheds
SAR images data are the result of a coherent imaging system that produces the speckle noise phenomenon. Image segmentation is the process of separating or grouping an image into different parts. The good performance of recognition algorithms depend on the quality of segmented image. An important problem in SAR image application is correct segmentation. In this paper, we consider the problem of ...
متن کاملA hierarchical approach to color image segmentation using homogeneity
In this paper, a novel hierarchical approach to color image segmentation is studied. We extend the general idea of a histogram to the homogeneity domain. In the first phase of the segmentation, uniform regions are identified via multilevel thresholding on a homogeneity histogram. While we process the homogeneity histogram, both local and global information is taken into consideration. This is p...
متن کاملEnhancement of Image Segmentation osing Automatic Histogram Thresholding
This study is focused on histogram thresholding methods automatically. In computer vision, Image segmentation is an initial and vital step in a series of processes aimed at overall image understanding. In other words Segmentation refers to the process of partitioning a digital image into the multiple segments (set of pixels as known as super pixels). Two very simple image segmentation technique...
متن کاملImage Thresholding by Histogram Segmentation Using Discriminant Analysis
Image segmentation is often used to distinguish the foreground from the background. This paper proposes a novel method of image thresholding using the optimal histogram segmentation by the cluster organization based on the similarity between adjacent clusters. Since this method is not based on the minimization of a function, the problem of selecting the threshold at the local minima is avoided....
