چکیده
Abstract. The goal of this paper is to develop region based image segmentation algorithms. Two new variational PDE image segmentation models are proposed. The first model is obtained by minimizing an energy function which depends on a modified Mumford-Shah algorithm. The second model is acquired by utilizing prior shape information and region intensity values. The numerical experiments of the proposed models are tested against synthetic data and simulated normal human-brain MR images. The preliminary experimental results show the effectiveness and robustness of presented models against to noise, artifact, and loss of information.

A Piecewise Constant Region Based Simultaneous Image Segmentation and Registration
A new variational region based model for a simultaneous image segmentation and a rigid registration is proposed. The purpose of the model is to segment and register novel images simultaneously using a modified piecewise constant Mumford-Shah functional and region intensity values. The segmentation is obtained by minimizing a modified piecewise constant Mumford-Shah functional. A registration is...
متن کاملIdentification of Nerves in Ultrasound Scans Using a Modified Mumford-Shah Functional and Prior Information
Ultrasound scans have many important clinical applications in medical imaging. One of clinical applications is to find nerves. One of the skills necessary to conduct ultrasound guided nerve blocks is the ability to recognize the nerves, vessels, muscles and bones in sagittal and axial cross sections. In fit healthy patients, these structures are reasonably easy to recognize but in obese patient...
متن کاملVideo segmentation algorithm based on modified Mumford-Shah functional
In this paper we present a video segmentation procedure obtained minimizing a modified version of the simplified Mumford Shah functional used for image partition. This procedure uses a graph with spatial and temporal connections to model a video sequence. The temporal connections are defined pre-computing the dense optical flow using methods available in the literature. To simplify the function...
متن کاملOn the Statistical Interpretation of the Piecewise Smooth Mumford-Shah Functional
In region-based image segmentation, two models dominate the field: the Mumford-Shah functional and statistical approaches based on Bayesian inference. Whereas the latter allow for numerous ways to describe the statistics of intensities in regions, the first includes spatially smooth approximations. In this paper, we show that the piecewise smooth Mumford-Shah functional is a first order approxi...
متن کاملEfficient Bottom-Up Image Segmentation Using Region Competition and the Mumford-Shah Model
Curve evolution implementations of the MumfordShah functional are of broad interests in image segmentation. These implementations, however, have initialization problems. A mathematical analysis of the initialization problem for the Chan-Vese implementations is provided in this paper. The initialization problem is shown to result from the non-convexity of the Mumford-Shah functional and the top-...
