چکیده

The Computer Vision group at U.C. Berkeley recently developed a novel approach to image segmentation, called the Normalized Cuts algorithm. The current implementation of the algorithm has an execution time on the order of minutes for medium-sized images running on conventional scalar machines. This paper explores the current bottlenecks and seeks to maximize the performance by porting the algorithm to the new IRAM vector architecture and vectorizing the critical routines. Simulation results are presented demonstrating the execution time of the streamlined algorithm to be over 6 times faster than the scalar version.

A Pixon-based Image Segmentation Method Considering Textural Characteristics of Image

Image segmentation is an essential and critical process in image processing and pattern recognition. In this paper we proposed a textured-based method to segment an input image into regions. In our method an entropy-based textured map of image is extracted, followed by an histogram equalization step to discriminate different regions. Then with the aim of eliminating unnecessary details and achi...

Image Segmentation using Improved Imperialist Competitive Algorithm and a Simple Post-processing

Image segmentation is a fundamental step in many of image processing applications. In most cases the image’s pixels are clustered only based on the pixels’ intensity or color information and neither spatial nor neighborhood information of pixels is used in the clustering process. Considering the importance of including spatial information of pixels which improves the quality of image segmentati...
