Region-based Colour Image Segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents a method for colour image segmentation based on a region growing procedure. The algorithm works without a priori knowledge about the number of regions in the image. The similarity of colour pixels is modelled by distance in different colour spaces (RGB, YUV and IHS). Additional median filtering and small region elimination procedures are investigated. The operation of algorithm for other variants of the RGB/IHS transformation is checked. The presented method of colour image segmentation is tested on real world images.

متن کاملA Basin Morphology Approach to Colour Image Segmentation by Region Merging
The problem of colour image segmentation is investigated in the context of mathematical morphology. Morphological operators are extended to colour images by means of a lexicographical ordering in a polar colour space, which are then employed in the preprocessing stage. The actual segmentation is based on the use of the watershed transformation, followed by region merging, with the procedure bei...

Image segmentation is a fundamental approach in the field of image processing and based on user’s application .This paper propose an original and simple segmentation strategy based on the EM approach that resolves many informatics problems about hyperspectral images which are observed by airborne sensors. In a first step, to simplify the input color textured image into a color image without tex...
متن کاملWeighted Linked Pyramids and Soft Segmentation of Colour Images
We describe the use of weighted linked pyramids for soft region segmentation of colour images. In many digital images definitive region boundaries can not be determined, casting doubt on the reasonableness of a conventional crisp segmentation. We propose that soft segmentation gives a more natural region segmentation of digital images than conventional crisp segmentation. Weighted linked pyrami...
متن کاملIntegration of Colour and Texture Distributions for Skin Cancer Image Segmentation
This study presents an efficient way to segment the skin cancer images. A novel method is proposed that combines colour and texture for the segmentation of skin lesions from unaffected skin region in an image. The distributions of colour and texture features provide a platform for the discrimination of skin lesions. The segmentation results are evaluated quantitatively by means of a comparative...
