Topological challenges in multispectral image segmentation Retos topológicos en la segmentación de imágenes multiespectrales

چکیده
Land cover classification from remote sensing multispectral images has been traditionally conducted by using mainly spectral information associated with discrete spatial units (i.e. pixels). Geometric and topological characteristics of the spatial context close to every pixel have been either not fully treated or completely ignored. This article provides a review of the strategies used by a number of researchers in order to include spatial and topological properties in image segmentation. It is shown how most of researchers have proposed to perform -previous to classificationa grouping or segmentation of nearby pixels by modeling neighborhood relationships as 4-connected, 8-connected and (a, b) – connected graphs. In this object-oriented approach, however, topological concepts such as neighborhood, contiguity, connectivity and boundary suffer from ambiguity since image elements (pixels) are two-dimensional entities composing a spatially uniform grid cell (i.e. there are not uni-dimensional nor zero-dimensional elements to build boundaries). In order to solve such topological paradoxes, a number of approaches are proposed. This review discusses how the alternative of digital images representation based on Cartesian complexes suggested by Kovalevsky (2008) for image segmentation in computer vision, does not present topological flaws that are typical for conventional solutions based on grid cells. However, such approaches have not yet been applied to multispectral image segmentation in remote sensing. This review concludes suggesting the need to research on the potential of using Cartesian complexes for multispectral image segmentation.

Segmentation of Breast Nodules on Ultrasonographic Images Based on Marke d-Controlled Watershed Transform Segmentación de Nódulos Mamarios en Imágenes Ultrasonográficas Basado en Transformada Watershed Controlada por Marcadores
In this article is presented a computerized segmentation method for breast nodules on ultrasonic images. With the goal of removing the speckle while preserving important information from the lesion boundaries, a Gabor filter followed by an anisotropic diffusion filtering are applied to the ultrasonic image. Furthermore, the marker-controlled Watershed transform defines potential boundaries that...

متن کامل3D GrabCut: Una segmentación de volúmenes basada en la técnica GrabCut utilizando la GPU
The image segmentation consists in obtaining a region of interest within a larger area. GrabCut is a recent technique of 2D segmentation which presents excellent results. This is based on representing the image as a flow network, and then apply a minimum cut algorithm on the graph and separate the background image (background) and the region of interest (foreground). This article presents a nov...
