Indus Image Segmentation Using Watershed and Histogram Projections
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Character segmentation is the major step of document image analysis and optical character recognition (OCR). The character segmentation is necessary to detect all the character regions in the image document. The proposed method preprocesses the image document with edge detection techniques to enhance the character edges. Further, the watershed algorithm is implemented to identify the regions of the character. Also, the multiple histogram projections are used to identify the characters. The watershed regions and the multiple histogram projections are compared to analyse the actual character regions improving the accuracy of character recognition. The Proposed method is evaluated on Telugu and Indus images and has extracted the characters accurately.

SAR image segmentation using Color space clustering and Watersheds
SAR images data are the result of a coherent imaging system that produces the speckle noise phenomenon. Image segmentation is the process of separating or grouping an image into different parts. The good performance of recognition algorithms depend on the quality of segmented image. An important problem in SAR image application is correct segmentation. In this paper, we consider the problem of ...
متن کاملHybrid color image segmentation using 2D histogram clustering and region merging
An hybrid segmentation method for color images is presented in this work. It combines 2D histogram clustering to produce segmentation maps fused together providing an initial unsupervised clustering of the dominant colors of the image. Region information is then used and a novel technique is introduced to simplify the Region Adjacency Graph by merging candidate regions until the stabilization o...
متن کاملHistogram and Watershed Based Segmentation of Color Images
A novel method for color image segmentation is proposed in this paper. The method is based on the segmentation of each color plane independently using a watershed based thresholding of the plane histograms. The segmentation maps obtained for each color plane are fused together according to a fusion operator taking into account a concordance of the labels of each segmentation map. This operator ...
متن کاملMultiband segmentation using morphological clustering and fusion $application to color image segmentation
In this paper we propose a novel approach for color image segmentation. Our approach is based on segmentation of subsets of bands using mathematical morphology followed by the fusion of the resulting segmentation ”channels”. For color images the band subsets are chosen as RG, RB and GB pairs, whose 2D histograms are processed as projections of a 3D histogram. The segmentations in 2D color space...
متن کاملWatershed segmentation using prior shape and appearance knowledge
Watershed transformation is a common technique for image segmentation. However, its use for automatic medical image segmentation has been limited particularly due to oversegmentation and sensitivity to noise. Employing prior shape knowledge has demonstrated robust improvements to medical image segmentation algorithms. We propose a novel method for enhancing watershed segmentation by utilizing p...
