چکیده

The application of hierarchical self organizing maps (HSOM) to the segmentation of cell migration images, obtained during high-content screening in molecular medicine, is described. The segmentation is critical to our larger project for developing methods for the automatic annotation of cell migration images. The HSOM appears to perform better than the conventional computervision methods of histogram thresholding, edge detection, and the newer techniques involving single-layer SOMs. However, the HSOM techniques have to be complemented by region-based techniques to improve the quality of the segmented images.

Spectral-spatial classification of hyperspectral images by combining hierarchical and marker-based Minimum Spanning Forest algorithms

Many researches have demonstrated that the spatial information can play an important role in the classification of hyperspectral imagery. This study proposes a modified spectral–spatial classification approach for improving the spectral–spatial classification of hyperspectral images. In the proposed method ten spatial/texture features, using mean, standard deviation, contrast, homogeneity, corr...

An efficient Self-Organizing Active Contour model for image segmentation

Active Contour Models (ACMs) constitute a powerful energy-based minimization framework for image segmentation, based on the evolution of an active contour. Among ACMs, supervised ACMs are able to exploit the information extracted from supervised examples to guide the contour evolution. However, their applicability is limited by the accuracy of the probability models they use. As a consequence, ...
