Unsupervised color image segmentation using a dynamic color gradient thresholding algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a novel algorithm for unsupervised segmentation of color images. The proposed approach utilizes a dynamic color gradient thresholding scheme that guides the region growing process. Given a color image, a weighted vectorbased color gradient map is generated. Seeds are identified and a dynamic threshold is then used to perform reliable growing of regions on the weighted gradient map. Over-segmentation, if any, is addressed by a Similarity Measurebased region merging stage to produce the final segmented image. Comparative results demonstrate the effectiveness of this algorithm for color image segmentation.

The goal of color image segmentation is to divide the image into homogeneous regions. Thresholding is a commonly used technique for image segmentation. Thresholding assumes that image present a number of components, each of a nearly homogeneous value, and that one can separate the components by a proper choice of intensity threshold. In this paper, we present an efficient iterative algorithm fo...
