A Parallel Topological Map for Image Segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new algorithm for topological feature mapping. It is compared to other known feature mapping algorithms like that proposed by Kohonen or Bertsch. The main difference to known algorithms is the inversion of the learning step. This makes it possible that a neural net can be seen as a cellular automaton. A neurone learns from its neighbours instead of teaching them the new value they have to adapt to. Equivalence of the algorithms is shown. The results of the algorithm are extremly high parallelization and flexibility in neighbourhood definition. This leads to new solutions for image segmentation problems.

متن کاملFirst Results for 3D Image Segmentation with Topological Map
This paper presents the first segmentation operation defined within the 3D topological map framework. Firstly we show how a traditional segmentation algorithm, found in the literature, can be transposed on a 3D image represented by a topological map. We show the consistency of the results despite of the modifications made to the segmentation algorithm and we study the complexity of the operatio...

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 کاملSplit-and-merge algorithms defined on topological maps for 3D image segmentation
Split-and-merge algorithms define a class of image segmentation methods. Topological maps are a mathematical model that represents image subdivisions in 2D and 3D. This paper discusses a split-and-merge method for 3D image data based on the topological map model. This model allows representations of states of segmentations and of merge and split operations. Indeed, it can be used as data struct...
