Local Adaptive Receptive Field Self-organizing Map for Image Segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new self-organizing map with variable topology is introduced for image segmentation. The proposed network, called Local Adaptive Receptive Field Self-organizing Map (LARFSOM-RBF), is a two-stage network capable of both color and border segment images. The color segmentation stage is responsibility of LARFSOM which is characterized by adaptive number of nodes, fast convergence and variable topology. For border segmentation RBF nodes are included to determine the border pixels using previously learned information of LARFSOM. LARFSOM-RBF was tested to segment images with different degrees of complexity showing promising results.

Reducing the number of colors in an image while preserving its quality, is of importance in many applications such as image analysis and compression. It also decreases memory and transmission bandwidth requirements. Moreover, classification of image colors is applicable in image segmentation and object detection and separation, as well as producing pseudo-color images. In this paper, the Kohene...
متن کاملAutomatic Multilevel Thresholding for Image Segmentation by the Growing Time Adaptive Self-Organizing Map
In this paper, a Growing TASOM (Time Adaptive Self-Organizing Map) network called “GTASOM” along with a peak finding process is proposed for automatic multilevel thresholding. The proposed GTASOM is tested for image segmentation. Experimental results demonstrate that the GTASOM is a reliable and accurate tool for image segmentation and its results outperform other thresholding methods.
