A Cluster Grouping Technique for Texture Segmentation
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose an algorithm for texture segmentation based on a divide-and-conquer strategy of statistical modeling. Selected sets of Gaussian clusters, estimated via Expectation Maximization on the texture features, are grouped together to form composite texture classes. Our cluster grouping technique exploits the inherent local spatial correlation among posterior distributions of clusters belonging to the same texture class. Despite its simplicity, this algorithm can model even very complex distributions, typical of natural outdoor images.

Application of clustering Technique for Tissue image segmentation and comparison
through this paper we proposed the methodology that incorporates the K-means and fuzzy c means algorithm for the color image segmentation. The image segmentation may be defined as the process of dividing the given image into different parts. Here we are taking color image as the input and we are supposed to segment the given image on the basis of its color. The clustering algorithm also proved ...
متن کاملApplication of clustering technique for Image Segmentation
In Computer Science, the term segmentation means the process of splitting the digital image into different parts that is the set of pixels. The aim of this paper is to survey the different clustering methods to perform the segmentation in an efficient manner. The clustering method is recommended to carry out the segmentation of an image in a more efficient manner. Clustering can be defined as t...
متن کاملBayesian Fusion of Color and Texture Segmentations
In many applications one would like to use information from both color and texture features in order to segment an image. We propose a novel technique to combine "soft" segmentations computed for two or more features independently. Our algorithm merges models according to a mean entropy criterion, and allows to choose the appropriate number of classes for the final grouping. This technique also...
متن کاملPath-Based Clustering for Grouping of Smooth Curves and Texture Segmentation
Perceptual Grouping organizes image parts in clusters based on psychophysically plausible similarity measures. We propose a novel grouping method in this paper, which stresses connectedness of image elements via mediating elements rather than favoring high mutual similarity. This grouping principle yields superior clustering results when objects are distributed on lowdimensional extended manifo...
متن کاملA region-level graph labeling approach to motion-based segmentation
This paper deals with the problem of motion-based segmentation of image sequences. Such partitions are multiple-purpose in dynamic scene analysis. We rst extract a texture-based partition using an unsupervised MRF approach. The regions obtained are then grouped according to a motion-based criterion. This grouping process relies on two motion estimation techniques and exploits contextual informa...
