An Agent-Based Approach for Range Image Segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper an agent-based segmentation approach is presented and discussed. The approach consists in the utilization of autonomous agents for the segmentation of a range image in its different planar regions. The moving agents perform cooperative and competitive actions on the image pixels allowing a robust extraction of regions and an accurate edge detection. An artificial potential field, created around pixels of interest, allows the agents to be gathered around edges and noise regions. The results obtained with real images are compared to those of some typical methods for range image segmentation. The comparison results show the potential of the proposed approach for scene understanding in range images regarding both segmentation performance, and detection accuracy.

An Improved Pixon-Based Approach for Image Segmentation
An improved pixon-based method is proposed in this paper for image segmentation. In thisapproach, a wavelet thresholding technique is initially applied on the image to reduce noise and toslightly smooth the image. This technique causes an image not to be oversegmented when the pixonbasedmethod is used. Indeed, the wavelet thresholding, as a pre-processing step, eliminates theunnecessary details...

Ray Casting is a direct volume rendering technique for visualizing 3D arrays of sampled data. It has vital applications in medical and biological imaging. Nevertheless, it is inherently open to cluttered classification results. It suffers from overlapping transfer function values and lacks a sufficiently powerful voxel parsing mechanism for object distinction. In this work, we are proposing an ...

In this paper, we present and evaluate a multi-agent approach for range image segmentation. The approach consists in using a population of autonomous agents to segment a range image in its planar regions. The agents adapt to the regions on which they move, then perform cooperative and competitive actions allowing a collective segmentation of the image. An artificial potential field is introduce...
