Image Segmentation Using Quadtree-Based Similarity Graph and Normalized Cut
نویسندگان
چکیده
The graph cuts in image segmentation have been widely used in recent years because it regards the problem of image partitioning as a graph partitioning issue, a well-known problem in graph theory. The normalized cut approach uses spectral graph properties of the image representative graph to bipartite it into two or more balanced subgraphs, achieving in some cases good results when applying this approach to image segmentation. In this work, we discuss the normalized cut approach and propose a Quadtree based similarity graph as the input graph in order to segment images. This representation allow us to reduce the cardinality of the similarity graph. Comparisons to the results obtained by other graph similarity representation were also done in sampled images.

In this research paper, we use a normalized graph cut measure as a thresholding principle to separate an object from the background based on the standard S membership function. The implementation of the proposed algorithm known as fuzzy normalized graph cut method. This proposed algorithm compared with the fuzzy entropy method [25], Kittler [11], Rosin [21], Sauvola [23] and Wolf [33] method. M...

متن کاملGraph Cuts based Image Segmentation using Fuzzy Rule Based System
This work deals with segmentation of the gray scale, color and texture images using graph cuts. From an input image, a graph is constructed using intensity, color and texture profiles of the image simultaneously (i.e., intensity and texture for gray scale images and color and texture for color images). Based on the nature of image, a fuzzy rule based system is designed to find the weight that s...
متن کاملSegmentation of Magnetic Resonance Brain Imaging Based on Graph Theory
Introduction: Segmentation of brain images especially from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential requirement in medical imaging since the tissues, edges, and boundaries between them are ambiguous and difficult to detect, due to the proximity of the brightness levels of the images. Material and Methods: In this paper, the graph-base...
