Temporal coherent image segmentation and its applications

چکیده
We propose a trapped-ball method for image segmentation, which is fast, supports non-uniformly colored regions, and allows robust region segmentation even in the presence of imperfectly linked region edges. We also introduce two applications by using the trapped-ball image segmentation, for temporal coherent animations generation and editing. First, we present a system for vectorizing 2D raster format cartoon animations by the segmentation method and background construction. The output animations are visually flicker free, smaller in file size, and easy to edit. And then we present an automatic method for online video stream stylization, producing a temporally coherent output video stream, based on the trapped-ball segmentation and optical flow. Our system transforms video into an abstract style with large regions of constant color and highlighted bold edges.

Reducing the number of colors in an image while preserving its quality, is of importance in many applications such as image analysis and compression. It also decreases memory and transmission bandwidth requirements. Moreover, classification of image colors is applicable in image segmentation and object detection and separation, as well as producing pseudo-color images. In this paper, the Kohene...
متن کاملImage Segmentation using Improved Imperialist Competitive Algorithm and a Simple Post-processing
Image segmentation is a fundamental step in many of image processing applications. In most cases the image’s pixels are clustered only based on the pixels’ intensity or color information and neither spatial nor neighborhood information of pixels is used in the clustering process. Considering the importance of including spatial information of pixels which improves the quality of image segmentati...

متن کاملA Pixon-based Image Segmentation Method Considering Textural Characteristics of Image
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 کاملImage Segmentation: Type–2 Fuzzy Possibilistic C-Mean Clustering Approach
Image segmentation is an essential issue in image description and classification. Currently, in many real applications, segmentation is still mainly manual or strongly supervised by a human expert, which makes it irreproducible and deteriorating. Moreover, there are many uncertainties and vagueness in images, which crisp clustering and even Type-1 fuzzy clustering could not handle. Hence, Type-...
