Unsupervised Image Segmentation Based on Fuzzy Connectedness with Sale Space Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose an approach of unsupervised segmentation with fuzzy connectedness. Valid seeds are first specified by an unsupervised method based on scale space theory. A region is then extracted for each seed with a relative object extraction method of fuzzy connectedness. Afterwards, regions are merged according to the values between them of an introduced measure. Some theorems and propositions are also provided to show the reasonableness of the measure for doing mergence. Experiment results on a synthetic image, a color image and a large amount of MR images of our method are reported. Keywords—Image segmentation, unsupervised image segmentation, fuzzy connectedness, scale space.
