Adaptive Region Growing Based on Boundary Measures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Weak boundary contrast, inhomogeneous background and overlapped intensity distributions of the object and background are main causes that may lead to failure of boundary detection for many image segmentation methods. An adaptive region growing method based on multiple boundary measures is presented. It consists of region expansion and boundary selection processes. During the region expansion process the region grows from a seed point. The background points adjacent to the current region are examined with local boundary measures. The region is expanded by iteratively growing the most qualified points. In the boundary selection process, the object boundary is determined with the global boundary measure that evaluates the boundary completeness. Experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm is robust against weak boundary contrast, inhomogeneous background and overlapped intensity distributions.

Equidistribution grids for two-parameter convection–diffusion boundary-value problems
In this article, we propose an adaptive grid based on mesh equidistribution principle for two-parameter convection-diffusion boundary value problems with continuous and discontinuous data. A numerical algorithm based on an upwind finite difference operator and an appropriate adaptive grid is constructed. Truncation errors are derived for both continuous and discontinuous problems. Parameter uni...

متن کاملBoundary-Active-Only Adaptive Power-Reduction Scheme for Region-Growing Video-Segmentation
This letter presents a boundary-active-only (BAO) power reduction technique for cell-network-based region-growing video segmentation. The key approach is an adaptive situation-dependent power switching of each network cell, namely only cells at the boundary of currently grown regions are activated, and all the other cells are kept in low-power stand-by mode. The effectiveness of the proposed te...
متن کاملRobust object boundary determination using a locally adaptive level set algorithm
This paper introduces a level set methodology for the precise boundary localization of image objects within an indicated region, designed to be particularly robust against weak or spurious edges, triple points or inhomogeneity of object features in the proximity of the actual interface. The proposed technique requires a reliable classification for a subset of the object interiors, which is prop...
متن کاملAdaptive strategy for superpixel-based region-growing image segmentation
This work presents a region-growing image segmentation approach based on superpixel decomposition. From an initial contour-constrained over-segmentation of the input image, the image segmentation is achieved by iteratively merging similar superpixels into regions. This approach raises two key issues: (1) how to compute the similarity between superpixels in order to perform accurate merging and ...
