Noisy Image Segmentation by Modified Snake Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel segmentation scheme for noisy image is proposed. According to the analysis of wavelet denoising method and multiscale geometric analysis techniques, an improved wavelet denoising algorithm combined with multiscale geometric analysis is presented in this paper first. Due to the isotropic nature of wavelet transform, 2D image details are not well represented in wavelet transform, which results in over smoothing. In this new denoising method, a noisy image is processed by the wavelet denoising method first, and then edges’ information which has been wrongly discarded, is picked up from the residue image by multiscale geometric analysis. The final denoising image is a combination of the wavelet denoising result and the edges’ information. Furthermore, incorporating prior knowledge on the contours’ shape and shape similarity metric based on Fourier descriptors of snakes, a parameter-varying snake model is introduced. It addresses the problem of varying parameters during snake method. Extensive experimental results illustrate the excellent performance.

Minimizing Loss of Information at Competitive PLIP Algorithms for Image Segmentation with Noisy Back Ground
In this paper, two training systems for selecting PLIP parameters have been demonstrated. The first compares the MSE of a high precision result to that of a lower precision approximation in order to minimize loss of information. The second uses EMEE scores to maximize visual appeal and further reduce information loss. It was shown that, in the general case of basic addition, subtraction, or mul...

A major problem in noisy image processing is the segmentation of its components. Many computer vision tasks analyze regions after segmenting a given image, then minimize the segmentation error to build a good automatic inspection system. In this paper, we propose a novel segmentation scheme for noisy images which consists of a new denoising method and a modified active contour model. The method...

Segmentation of the left ventricle (LV) is a hot topic in cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) images analysis. In this paper, we present an automatic LV myocardial boundary segmentation method using the parametric active contour model (or snake model). By convolving the gradient map of an image, a fast external force named gradient vector convolution (GVC) is presented for the snake model. A circle...
