Global Minimization of the Active Contour Model with TV-Inpainting and Two-Phase Denoising

چکیده
The active contour model [8,9,2] is one of the most well-known variational methods in image segmentation. In a recent paper by Bresson et al. [1], a link between the active contour model and the variational denoising model of Rudin-Osher-Fatemi (ROF) [10] was demonstrated. This relation provides a method to determine the global minimizer of the active contour model. In this paper, we propose a variation of this method to determine the global minimizer of the active contour model in the case when there are missing regions in the observed image. The idea is to turn off the L-fidelity term in some subdomains, in particular the regions for image inpainting. Minimizing this energy provides a unified way to perform image denoising, segmentation and inpainting.

Image Inpainting Using a TV-Stokes Equation
Based on some geometrical considerations, we propose a two-step method to do digital image inpainting. In the first step, we try to propagate the isophote directions into the inpainting domain. An energy minimization model combined with the zero divergence condition is used to get a nonlinear Stokes equation. Once the isophote directions are constructed, an image is restored to fit the construc...

This paper provides new hybrid medical image segmentation based on Global Minimization by Active Contour (GMAC) method and Spatial Fuzzy C Means Clustering method (SFCM) tailored to CT imaging applications. GMAC is the unification of image segmentation and image denoising, which is a combination of snake, Rudin-Osher denoising and the Mumford Shah model. Here globalization of contour is applied...
متن کاملDenoising and Inpainting of Images Using TV-Type Energies: Theoretical and Computational Aspects
In our note we discuss variational approaches towards the denoising of images and towards the image inpainting problem combined with simultaneous denoising. Our techniques are based on variants of the TV-model but in contrast to this case a complete analytical theory is available in our setting. At the same time, numerical experiments illustrate the advantages of our models in comparison with s...
متن کاملA Short Guide on a Fast Global Minimization Algorithm for Active Contour Models
This is a short guide to explain how to quickly minimize a large class of segmentation models called active contours. We believe that the proposed theory and algorithm, introduced in a series of papers [6, 4, 10, 11], produce so far one of the most efficient minimization methods for the active contour segmentation problem. For example, the well-know cameraman picture, which size is 256× 256, is...
متن کاملFast algorithm for color texture image inpainting using the non-local CTV model
The classical TV (Total Variation) model has been applied to gray texture image denoising and inpainting previously based on the non local operators, but such model can not be directly used to color texture image inpainting due to coupling of different image layers in color images. In order to solve the inpainting problem for color texture images effectively, we propose a non local CTV (Color T...
