Generalized Fractal Dimensions in Image Thresholding Technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
A digital grayscale image can be described by intensity or pixel values. The gray levels are spread over the images as irregular or inhomogeneous fashion. A number of proposed methods for calculating the optimal thresholding value for image segmentation, but the fractal analysis is an expeditious and significant mathematical approach that distributes with irregular geometric objects. In the recent years, fractal analysis is widely used in the image processing. In this study we use more general approach, multifractal analysis, for evaluating the optimal thresholding value for image segmentation, since the generalized fractal dimensions measures the irregularity or chaos object as exactly.

An Improved Pixon-Based Approach for Image Segmentation
An improved pixon-based method is proposed in this paper for image segmentation. In thisapproach, a wavelet thresholding technique is initially applied on the image to reduce noise and toslightly smooth the image. This technique causes an image not to be oversegmented when the pixonbasedmethod is used. Indeed, the wavelet thresholding, as a pre-processing step, eliminates theunnecessary details...
متن کاملBlock-Based Compressive Sensing Using Soft Thresholding of Adaptive Transform Coefficients
Compressive sampling (CS) is a new technique for simultaneous sampling and compression of signals in which the sampling rate can be very small under certain conditions. Due to the limited number of samples, image reconstruction based on CS samples is a challenging task. Most of the existing CS image reconstruction methods have a high computational complexity as they are applied on the entire im...
متن کاملScale-Specific Multifractal Medical Image Analysis
Fractal geometry has been applied widely in the analysis of medical images to characterize the irregular complex tissue structures that do not lend themselves to straightforward analysis with traditional Euclidean geometry. In this study, we treat the nonfractal behaviour of medical images over large-scale ranges by considering their box-counting fractal dimension as a scale-dependent parameter...
متن کاملAdaptive Fractal and Wavelet Image Denoising
The need for image enhancement and restoration is encountered in many practical applications. For instance, distortion due to additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) can be caused by poor quality image acquisition, images observed in a noisy environment or noise inherent in communication channels. In this thesis, image denoising is investigated. After reviewing standard image denoising methods as ...
متن کاملGeneralized Thresholding of Large Covariance Matrices
We propose a new class of generalized thresholding operators that combine thresholding with shrinkage, and study generalized thresholding of the sample covariance matrix in high dimensions. Generalized thresholding of the covariance matrix has good theoretical properties and carries almost no computational burden. We obtain an explicit convergence rate in the operator norm that shows the tradeo...
