Color Image Segmentation Using Anisotropic Diffusion and Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new color image segmentation scheme is presented in this paper. The proposed algorithm consists of image simplification, region labeling and color clustering. The vector-valued diffusion process is performed in the perceptually uniform LUV color space. We present a discrete 3-D diffusion model for easy implementation. The statistical characteristics of each labeled region are employed to estimate the number of total clusters and agglomerative hierarchical clustering is performed with the estimated number of clusters. Since the proposed clustering algorithm counts each region as a unit, it does not generate oversegmentation along region boundaries.

Video segmentation using vector-valued diffusion and clustering
In this paper, we propose a user-assisted video segmentation algorithm based on color information to alleviate oversegmentation problems. We perform intra-frame segmentation by image simplification, region labeling, and color clustering. In this paper, we also present a discrete three dimensional diffusion model for easy implementation. The statistical property of each labeled region is used to...
متن کاملA survey of K means Clustering with modified gradient magnitude region growing technique for lesion segmentation
Image segmentation is very useful in lesion segmentation which is needed for monitoring and quantifying Lesion. Automated lesion segmentation in CT/MRI poses many challenges with regard to characteristics of an image. Many techniques are involved to detect the lesion in the medical images such watershed, wavelet transform etc. In this paper, we are defining the modified k means cluster to segme...
متن کاملRobust Method for E-Maximization and Hierarchical Clustering of Image Classification
We developed a new semi-supervised EM-like algorithm that is given the set of objects present in eachtraining image, but does not know which regions correspond to which objects. We have tested thealgorithm on a dataset of 860 hand-labeled color images using only color and texture features, and theresults show that our EM variant is able to break the symmetry in the initial solution. We compared...
متن کاملAgglomerative connectivity constrained clustering for image segmentation
We consider the problem of clustering under the constraint that data points in the same cluster are connected according to a pre-existed graph. This constraint can be efficiently addressed by an agglomerative clustering approach, which we exploit to construct a new fully automatic segmentation algorithm for color photographs. For image segmentation, if the pixel grid with eight neighbor connect...
متن کاملAn Unsupervised Classification Using Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering, Wishart Test Statistic and the C-p Decomposition for Fully Polarimetric Sar Data
A new unsupervised classification algorithm is introduced for fully polarimetric SAR data. The agglomerative hierarchical algorithm and Wishart test statistics are used for the cluster segmentation, which includes the process of estimation the number of clusters. The Cloude-Pottier decomposition & HSI color transform are used for the target identification, which also automatically render the co...
