基于二维直方图与FCM相结合的图像快速分割方法

基于二维直方图的模糊聚类分割方法,可以有效地抑制噪声。但是FCM(模糊C均值)算法用于图像聚类时最大的缺点是运算开销太大,进而限制了该算法在图像分割中的应用。通过构造合理的二维直方图,并筛选出符合规定条件的元素作为聚类样本,再结合FCM算法进行图像分割。实验结果表明该方法具有与基于一维直方图的模糊聚类分割方法速度相近,但却比其分割精度高很多的良好特点。     

一种快速有效的交互式医学序列图像分割方法

提出了一种结合Live-Wire算法、种子填充以及轮廓插值的序列医学图像分割算法。该方法首先将病灶组织形状变化较大的断层图像作为关键层,然后综合应用Live-Wire算法和种子填充对关键层中病灶区域进行分割,最后利用轮廓插值技术对中间的过渡图像进行自动分割。实验表明这种算法能快速有效地从序列医学图像中分割出感兴趣的物体。

Unsupervised Bayesian image segmentation using orthogonal series

This paper deals with the problem of unsupervised image segmentation which consists in first mixture identification phase and second a Bayesian decision phase. During the mixture identification phase, the conditional probability density function (pdf) and the a priori class probabilities must be estimated. The most difficult part is the estimation of the number of pixel classes or in other words the estimation of the number of density mixture components. To resolve this problem, we propose here a Stochastic and Nonparametric Expectation-Maximization (SNEM) algorithm. The algorithm finds the most likely number of classes, their associated model parameters and generates a segmentation of the image by classifying the pixels into these classes. The non-parametric aspect comes from the use of the orthogonal series estimator. Experimental results are promising, we have obtained accurate results on a variety of real images.     

Satellite imagery based adaptive background models and shadow suppression

Accurate segmentation of foreground objects in video scenes is critical for assuring reliable performance of vision systems for object tracking and situational awareness in outdoor scenes. Most existing techniques for background modeling and shadow suppression require that a number of parameters be “hand-tuned” based on environmental conditions. This paper presents two contributions to overcome such limitations. First, we develop and demonstrate a satellite imagery based approach for selecting appropriate background and shadow models. It is shown that the illumination conditions (i.e. cloud cover) of a scene can be reliably inferred from visible satellite images in the local region of the camera. The second contribution presented in the paper is introduction and evaluation of a Hybrid Cone-Cylinder Codebook (HC3) model which combines an adaptive efficient background model with HSV-color space shadow suppression into a single coherent framework. The structure of the HC3 model allows for seamless fusion of the satellite data. We are thereby able to exploit the fact that, for example, shadows are more pronounced on sunny days than cloudy days, allowing for more sensitive detection. The paper presents a set of experiments using day long sequences of videos from an operational surveillance system testbed. Results of these experimental analyses quantitatively illustrate the benefits of using satellite imagery to inform and adaptively adjust background and shadow modeling.     

An Approach for Segmentation of Airborne Laser Point Clouds Utilizing Scan‐Line Characteristics

In this study, we suggest a new segmentation algorithm for processing airborne laser point cloud data which is more memory efficient and faster than previous approaches. The main principle is the reading of data points along a scan line and their direct classification into homogeneous groups as a single process. The results of our experiments demonstrate that the algorithm runs faster and is more memory efficient than previous approaches. Moreover, the segmentation accuracy is generally acceptable.     

不同转换方式对三角函数算子分割效果的影响

提出了一种新的图像分割算法－三角函数算子,它是一种基于光学干涉原理的快速图像分割方法,并分析了其硬件实现装置。在该算子的运用中需要将输入图像的强度信息转化为相应的相位信息。定义了不同的强度-相位转换方式,例如线性方式、对数函数方式、正切函数方式、反正切函数方式等。通过数值计算,研究了不同转化方式对三角函数算子分割效果的影响。结果显示,不同的转换方式及其参数,都直接影响该算子的分割效果和边缘类型分辨能力。分析表明,在对数S形函数方式下,不但能够检测阶梯状和脉冲状等类型的边缘,还能够检测出屋顶状边缘。     

基于曲率的透视不变性分割

曲线的透视不变性分割在基于二次曲线的三维重建中非常重要。首先给出了连续曲线零曲率点和角点的提取法，在数字图像中曲经是不连续的，曲率的变化受噪声的干扰很大。在这种情况下为了检测出零曲率点和角点，对曲线采用了高斯滤波然后再提到零曲率点和角点。实验证明这种方法效果优于直接求曲率法。
