A Graph Based, Semantic Region Growing Approach in Image Segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this position paper we examine the limitation of region growing segmentation techniques to extract semantically meaningful objects from an image. We propose a region growing algorithm that performs on a semantic level, driven by the knowledge of what each region represents at every iteration step of the merging process. This approach utilizes simultaneous segmentation and labeling of regions leading to automatic image annotation.

متن کاملSegmentation of Magnetic Resonance Brain Imaging Based on Graph Theory
Introduction: Segmentation of brain images especially from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential requirement in medical imaging since the tissues, edges, and boundaries between them are ambiguous and difficult to detect, due to the proximity of the brightness levels of the images. Material and Methods: In this paper, the graph-base...
متن کاملA Context-Based Region Labeling Approach for Semantic Image Segmentation
In this paper we present a framework for simultaneous image segmentation and region labeling leading to automatic image annotation. The proposed framework operates at semantic level using possible semantic labels to make decisions on handling image regions instead of visual features used traditionally. In order to stress its independence of a specific image segmentation approach we applied our ...
