Automatic Image Segmentation using Wavelets

چکیده
Model-Based image segmentation plays a dominant role in image analysis and image retrieval. To analyze the features of the image, model based segmentation algorithm will be more efficient compared to non-parametric methods. In this paper, we proposed Automatic Image Segmentation using Wavelets (AISWT) to make segmentation fast and simpler. The approximation band of image Discrete Wavelet Transform is considered for segmentation which contains significant information of the input image. The Histogram based algorithm is used to obtain the number of regions and the initial parameters like mean, variance and mixing factor. The final parameters are obtained by using the Expectation and Maximization algorithm. The segmentation of the approximation coefficients is determined by Maximum Likelihood function. It is observed that the proposed method is computationally efficient allowing the segmentation of large images and performs much superior to the earlier image segmentation methods.

Object-Oriented Method for Automatic Extraction of Road from High Resolution Satellite Images
As the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. This processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...

متن کاملA robust automatic clustering scheme for image segmentation using wavelets
The optimal features with which to discriminate between regions and, thus, segment an image often differ depending on the nature of the image. Many real images are made up of both smooth and textured regions and are best segmented using different features in different areas. A scheme that automatically selects the optimal features for each pixel using wavelet analysis is proposed, leading to a ...
