چکیده

In this paper, we developed a novel approach that provides effective and robust segmentation of color images. It preprocesses an image by converting color information from RGB to CIE L*a*b* color spaces that CIE L*a*b* color spaces can express color in a device-independent way. CIE L*a*b* color space is better suited to digital image manipulations than the RGB space, because it had removed correlation among R, G, and B components that in RGB color space. The transfer image is then represented by using the graph structures, and the Ncut method is applied to perform globally optimized clustering and graph cut techniques was used to perform image segmentation tasks. And the experimental results show that the new algorithm performs better.

Graph Cuts based Image Segmentation using Fuzzy Rule Based System

This work deals with segmentation of the gray scale, color and texture images using graph cuts. From an input image, a graph is constructed using intensity, color and texture profiles of the image simultaneously (i.e., intensity and texture for gray scale images and color and texture for color images). Based on the nature of image, a fuzzy rule based system is designed to find the weight that s...

Graph Cuts Segmentation by Using Local Texture Features of Multiresolution Analysis

This paper proposes an approach to image segmentation using Iterated Graph Cuts based on local texture features of wavelet coefficients. Using Haar Wavelet based Multiresolution Analysis, the lowfrequency range (smoothed image) is used for the n-link and the highfrequency range (local texture features) is used for the t-link along with the color histogram. The proposed method can segment an obj...
