Abstract:

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, orientation) values. The output image of this step clarified different textures and then used low pass Gaussian filter for smoothing the image. These two filters were used as preprocessing stage of texture images. In this research, we used K-means algorithm for initial segmentation. In this study, we used Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm to estimate parameters, too. Finally, the segmentation was done by Iterated Conditional Modes (ICM) algorithm updating the labels and minimizing the energy function. In order to test the segmentation performance, some of the standard images of Brodatz database are used. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

An Unsupervised Segmentation Framework For Texture Image Queries

In this paper, a novel unsupervised segmentation framework for texture image queries is presented. The proposed framework consists of an unsupervised segmentation method for texture images, and a multi-filter query strategy. By applying the unsupervised segmentation method on each texture image, a set of texture feature parameters for that texture image can be extracted automatically. Based upo...

Unsupervised Texture Segmentation Using Feature Distributions

This paper presents an unsupervised texture segmentation method, which uses distributions of local binary patterns and pattern contrasts for measuring the similarity of adjacent image regions during the segmentation process. Nonparametric log-likelihood test, the G statistic, is engaged as a pseudo-metric for comparing feature distributions. A region-based algorithm is developed for coarse imag...

Realtime Unsupervised Texture Segmentation Using Graphics Hardware

General purpose computation on graphics processing units (GPGPU) has opened up a host of possibilities for high performance computing on commodity hardware. We show how an interesting texture segmentation algorithm can achieve 35x50x speedups on the GPU. We also show that portions of the algorithm can even approach a 300x speedup. We also demonstrate that portions of the algorithm that form bot...
