Gray-Level Image Transitions Driven by Tsallis Entropic Index

چکیده

The maximum entropy principle is largely used in thresholding and segmentation of images. Among the several formulations of this principle, the most effectively applied is that based on Tsallis non-extensive entropy. Here, we discuss the role of its entropic index in determining the thresholds. When this index is spanning the interval (0,1), for some images, the values of thresholds can have large leaps. In this manner, we observe abrupt transitions in the appearance of corresponding bi-level or multi-level images. These gray-level image transitions are analogous to order or texture transitions observed in physical systems, transitions which are driven by the temperature or by other physical quantities.

Determining the Entropic Index q of Tsallis Entropy in Images through Redundancy

The Boltzmann–Gibbs and Tsallis entropies are essential concepts in statistical physics, which have found multiple applications in many engineering and science areas. In particular, we focus our interest on their applications to image processing through information theory. We present in this article a novel numeric method to calculate the Tsallis entropic index q characteristic to a given image...

Phase diagram of a 2D Ising model within a nonextensive approach

In this work we report Monte Carlo simulations of a 2D Ising model, in which the statistics of the Metropolis algorithm is replaced by the nonextensive one. We compute the magnetization and show that phase transitions are present for q 6= 1. A q−phase diagram (critical temperature vs. the entropic parameter q) is built and exhibits some interesting features, such as phases which are governed by...

Entropic Image Segmentation: A Fuzzy Approach Based on Tsallis Entropy

ISSN: 2186-1390 http://www.ijcvsp.com Abstract In this paper, a fuzzy approach for image segmentation based on Tsallis entropy is introduced. This approach employs fuzzy Tsallis entropy to measure the structural information of image and to locate the optimal threshold desired by segmentation. The proposed method draws upon the postulation that the optimal threshold concurs with maximum informat...

Intermittency at critical transitions and aging dynamics at edge of chaos

We recall that, at both the intermittency transitions and at the Feigenbaum attractor in unimodal maps of non-linearity of order ζ > 1, the dynamics rigorously obeys the Tsallis statistics. We account for the q-indices and the generalized Lyapunov coefficients λq that characterize the universality classes of the pitchfork and tangent bifurcations. We identify the Mori singularities in the Lyapu...

Nonextensive Entropic Image Thresholding

In image processing, one of the most efficient techniques for image segmentation is entropy-based thresholding. In this work it was applied a generalized entropy formalism that represents a recent development in statistical mechanics. We propose, for the first time, an image thresholding method using a nonextensive entropy regarding the presence of nonadditive information content in some image ...
