چکیده

In this work a color based, edge-region cooperative segmentation technique is presented. The segmentation process consists of two basic stages. In the first stage a novel fast vector edge detector based on the image density map is used, to solve the multidimensional boundary estimation problem. The watershed transform with some form of morphological prefiltering, is applied on the edge image to produce well defined regions. In the final stage a new vector merging criterion is used to control oversegmentation. Experimental results on natural images are presented. The segmentation procedure preserves color in every stage.

کاهش رنگ تصاویر با شبکه‌های عصبی خودسامانده چندمرحله‌ای و ویژگی‌های افزونه

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...

Color Reduction in Hand-drawn Persian Carpet Cartoons before Discretization using image segmentation and finding edgy regions

In this paper, we present a method for color reduction of Persian carpet cartoons that increases both speed and accuracy of editing. Carpet cartoons are in two categories: machine-printed and hand-drawn. Hand-drawn cartoons are divided into two groups: before and after discretization. The purpose of this study is color reduction of hand-drawn cartoons before discretization. The proposed algorit...

Color based image segmentation as edge preserving filtering and grouping

In this paper we contend that color based image segmentation can be performed in two stages: an edge preserving filtering stage followed by pixel grouping. Furthermore, for the first step, we introduce a framework under which many current filtering approaches (and some novel ones) can be classified. We present experiments where a new method, called Color Mean Shift, outperforms all the other me...

Modified CLPSO-based fuzzy classification System: Color Image Segmentation

Fuzzy segmentation is an effective way of segmenting out objects in images containing both random noise and varying illumination. In this paper, a modified method based on the Comprehensive Learning Particle Swarm Optimization (CLPSO) is proposed for pixel classification in HSI color space by selecting a fuzzy classification system with minimum number of fuzzy rules and minimum number of incorr...
