چکیده

Total-variation denoising (TVD) is a robust algorithm for reconstructing noisy images. Because it imposes an L1 penalty on differences between adjacent pixels, it tends to result in images with piecewise constant regions. The goal of image segmentation is to assign pixels to clusters such that pixels within each cluster are similar. Our goal is to see if TVD can be used to perform segmentation, by taking the constant regions of the denoised image as the segments. We hope that this project can yield insight into image segmentation, which is a central problem in computer vision and is an intermediate step in many higher-order tasks, such as object recognition.

Robust Potato Color Image Segmentation using Adaptive Fuzzy Inference System

Potato image segmentation is an important part of image-based potato defect detection. This paper presents a robust potato color image segmentation through a combination of a fuzzy rule based system, an image thresholding based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization and morphological operators. The proposed potato color image segmentation is robust against variation of background, distance and ...

Image segmentation based on the hybrid total variation model and the K-means clustering strategy

Abstract The performance of image segmentation highly relies on the original inputting image. When the image is contaminated by some noises or blurs, we can not obtain the efficient segmentation result by using direct segmentation methods. In order to efficiently segment the contaminated image, this paper proposes a two step method based on the hybrid total variation model with a box constraint...

A 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...

Image Restoration by Variable Splitting based on Total Variant Regularizer

The aim of image restoration is to obtain a higher quality desired image from a degraded image. In this strategy, an image inpainting method fills the degraded or lost area of the image by appropriate information. This is performed in such a way so that the obtained image is undistinguishable for a casual person who is unfamiliar with the original image. In this paper, different images are degr...
