Contour continuity in region based
نویسندگان
چکیده
Region-based image segmentation techniques make use of similarity in intensity, color and texture to determine the partitioning of an image. The powerful cue of contour continuity is not exploited at all. In this paper, we provide a way of incorporating curvilinear grouping into region-based image segmentation. Soft contour information is obtained through orientation energy. Weak contrast gaps and subjective contours are completed by contour propagation. The normalized cut approach proposed by Shi and Malik is used for the segmentation. Results on a large variety of images are shown.

متن کاملMDS-based segmentation model for the fusion of contour and texture cues in natural images
In this paper, we present an original image segmentation model based on a preliminary spatially adaptive non-linear data dimensionality reduction step integrating contour and texture cues. This new dimensionality reduction model aims at converting an input texture image into a noisy color image in order to greatly simplify its subsequent segmentation. In this latter de-texturing model, the (spa...
متن کاملWater Flow Based Vessel Detection in Retinal Images
Previous vessel segmentation methods mainly concentrate on the general structure, and often ignore the accuracy, smoothness and continuity of vessel boundaries. A water flow based method is proposed to solve the problem. It embodies the fluidity of water and hence can handle the complex topological changes of vessels. A snake-like force functional combining edge-based and region-based forces pr...
متن کاملEffects of Rangeland Restoration (Contour Furrows, and Mortar Stone Dam) on Soil Fertilization (Case Study: Silvana Region, West Azerbaijan Province, Iran)
The overgrazing and excessive utilization of rangelands has caused vegetationand soil degradation in many rangelands. In the rangeland management, the soil andvegetation elements, environmental factors and livestock should be considered as decisionmaking agents. Various methods are applicable for the rangeland restoration as contourfurrows and mortar stone dam. In order to evaluate the effects ...
متن کاملناحیهبندی مرز اندوکارد بطن چپ در تصاویر تشدید مغناطیسی قلبی با شدت روشنایی غیریکنواخت
The stochastic active contour scheme (STACS) is a well-known and frequently-used approach for segmentation of the endocardium boundary in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images. However, it suffers significant difficulties with image inhomogeneity due to using a region-based term based on the global Gaussian probability density functions of the innerouter regions of the active ...
