The Activity Image in Image Enhancement and Segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we study a scheme to segment images. The scheme consists of two steps: image enhancement based on anisotropic diiusion and watershed segmentation. In both steps an activity image plays a central role; to drive the diiusion in the enhancement step and as a topographic surface in the watershed segmentation. In this paper we extend this segmentation scheme to images in true color. Therefore , we only need to extend the deenition of the activity image to images in true color. The qualitative performance of this color segmentation scheme is illustrated with results for real images in true color.

Enhancement of Learning Based Image Matting Method with Different Background/Foreground Weights
The problem of accurate foreground estimation in images is called Image Matting. In image matting methods, a map is used as learning data, which is produced by those pixels that are definitely foreground, definitely background ,and unknown. This three-level pixel map is often referred to as a trimap, which is produced manually in alpha matte datasets. The true class of unknown pixels will be es...
متن کاملContrast Enhancement of Mammograms for Rapid Detection of Microcalcification Clusters
Introduction Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among women. Early detection of breast cancer is the key to reducing the associated mortality rate. The presence of microcalcifications clusters (MCCs) is one of the earliest signs of breast cancer. Due to poor imaging contrast of mammograms and noise contamination, radiologists may overlook some diagnostic signs, specially t...
متن کاملA Novel Spot-Enhancement Anisotropic Diffusion Method for the Improvement of Segmentation in Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis Images, Based on the Watershed Transform Algorithm
Introduction Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DGE) is a powerful technique in proteomics for protein separation. In this technique, spot segmentation is an essential stage, which can be challenging due to problems such as overlapping spots, streaks, artifacts and noise. Watershed transform is one of the common methods for image segmentation. Nevertheless, in 2DGE image segmentation, the no...
متن کاملAdaptive Image Dehazing via Improving Dark Channel Prior
The dark channel prior (DCP) technique is an effective method to enhance hazy images. Dark channel is an image with the same size as the hazy image which represents the haze severity in different places of the image. The DCP method suffers from two problems: it is incapable for removing haze from smooth regions, causing blocking effects on these areas; it cannot properly reduce a haze with a no...
متن کاملUnsupervised Texture Image Segmentation Using MRFEM Framework
Texture image analysis is one of the most important working realms of image processing in medical sciences and industry. Up to present, different approaches have been proposed for segmentation of texture images. In this paper, we offered unsupervised texture image segmentation based on Markov Random Field (MRF) model. First, we used Gabor filter with different parameters’ (frequency, orientatio...
متن کاملA Pixon-based Image Segmentation Method Considering Textural Characteristics of Image
Image segmentation is an essential and critical process in image processing and pattern recognition. In this paper we proposed a textured-based method to segment an input image into regions. In our method an entropy-based textured map of image is extracted, followed by an histogram equalization step to discriminate different regions. Then with the aim of eliminating unnecessary details and achi...
