An Approach to the Minimization of the Mumford–Shah Functional using Γ-convergence and Topological Asymptotic Expansion

چکیده
In this paper, we present a method for the numerical minimization of the Mumford–Shah functional that is based on the idea of topological asymptotic expansions. The basic idea is to cover the expected edge set with balls of radius ε > 0 and use the number of balls, multiplied with 2ε, as an estimate for the length of the edge set. We introduce a functional based on this idea and prove that it converges in the sense of Γ-limits to the Mumford–Shah functional. Moreover, we show that ideas from topological asymptotic analysis can be used for determining where to position the balls covering the edge set. The results of the proposed method are presented by means of two numerical examples and compared with the results of the classical approximation due to Ambrosio and Tortorelli.

Joint prior models of mumford-shah regularization for blur identification and segmentation in video sequences
We study a regularized Mumford-Shah functional in the context of joint prior models for blur identification, blind image deconvolution and segmentation. For the ill-posed regularization problem, it is hard to find a good initial value for ensuring the soundness of the convergent value. A newly introduced prior solution space of point spread functions in a double regularized Bayesian estimation ...
متن کاملA Variational Algorithm for the Detection of Line Segments
In this paper we propose an algorithm for the detection of edges in images that is based on topological asymptotic analysis. Motivated from the Mumford–Shah functional, we consider a variational functional that penalizes oscillations outside some approximate edge set, which we represent as the union of a finite number of thin strips, the width of which is an order of magnitude smaller than thei...
متن کاملImage Segmentation with a Finite Element Method
The Mumford-Shah functional for image segmentation is an original approach of the image segmentation problem, based on a minimal energy criterion. Its minimization can be seen as a free discontinuity problem and is based on Γ-convergence and bounded variation functions theories. Some new regularization results, make possible to imagine a finite element resolution method. In a first time, the Mu...
متن کاملExtended Mumford-Shah Regularization in Bayesian Estimation for Blind Image Deconvolution and Segmentation
We present an extended Mumford-Shah regularization for blind image deconvolution and segmentation in the context of Bayesian estimation for blurred, noisy images or video sequences. The MumfordShah functional is extended to have cost terms for the estimation of blur kernels via a newly introduced prior solution space. This functional is minimized using Γ -convergence approximation in an embedde...
متن کاملA Geometric-Functional-Based Image Segmentation and Inpainting
The Mumford-Shah functional minimization, and related algorithms for image segmentation, involve a tradeoff between a twodimensional image structure and one-dimensional parametric curves (contours) that surround objects or distinct regions in the image. We propose an alternative functional that is independent of parameterization; it is a geometric functional which is given in terms of the geome...
