Fuzzy image segmentation considering surface characteristics and feature set selection strategy

چکیده
The image segmentation performance of any clustering algorithm is sensitive to the features used and the types of object in an image, both of which compromise the overall generality of the algorithm. This paper proposes a novel fuzzy image segmentation considering surface characteristics and feature set selection strategy (FISFS) algorithm which addresses these issues. Features that are exploited when the initially segmented results from a clustering algorithm are subsequently merged include connectedness, object surface characteristics and the arbitrariness of the fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm for pixel location. A perceptual threshold is also integrated within the region merging strategy. Qualitative and quantitative results are presented, together with a full time-complexity analysis, to confirm the superior performance of FISFS compared with FCM, possibilistic c-means (PCM), and suppressed FCM (SFCM) clustering algorithms, for a wide range of disparate images.

Automatic Feature Set Selection for Merging Image Segmentation Results Using Fuzzy Clustering
The image segmentation performance of clustering algorithms is highly dependent on the features used and the type of objects contained in the image, which limits the generalization ability of such algorithms. As a consequence, a fuzzy image segmentation using suppressed fuzzy c-means clustering (FSSC) algorithm was proposed that merged the initially segmented regions produced by a fuzzy cluster...
متن کاملA Pixon-based Image Segmentation Method Considering Textural Characteristics of Image
Image segmentation is an essential and critical process in image processing and pattern recognition. In this paper we proposed a textured-based method to segment an input image into regions. In our method an entropy-based textured map of image is extracted, followed by an histogram equalization step to discriminate different regions. Then with the aim of eliminating unnecessary details and achi...

متن کاملCluster-Based Image Segmentation Using Fuzzy Markov Random Field
Image segmentation is an important task in image processing and computer vision which attract many researchers attention. There are a couple of information sets pixels in an image: statistical and structural information which refer to the feature value of pixel data and local correlation of pixel data, respectively. Markov random field (MRF) is a tool for modeling statistical and structural inf...
