Hierarchical Image Segmentation Using a Watershed Scale - Space Tree
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we discuss modifications to the basic watershed transformation that enable watershed scale trees to be produced and we illustrate the approach with some example segmentations taken from a medical image processing application. The mapping between image and scale tree allows the user to overcome the over-segmentation by either setting a global threshold or interactively editing the tree description of the image.

Image segmentation and analysis via multiscale gradient watershed hierarchies
Multiscale image analysis has been used successfully in a number of applications to classify image features according to their relative scales. As a consequence, much has been learned about the scale-space behavior of intensity extrema, edges, intensity ridges, and grey-level blobs. We investigate the multiscale behavior of gradient watershed regions. These regions are defined in terms of the g...
متن کاملImproving edge detection and watershed segmentation with anisotropic diffusion and morphological levellings
Edge preserving smoothing and image simplification is of fundamental importance in a variety of remote sensing applications during feature extraction and object detection procedures. The construction of a pre-processing filtering tool for edge detection and segmentation tasks is still an open matter. Towards this end, this paper brings together two advanced nonlinear scale space representations...
متن کاملSegmentation of Natural Images by Non-linear Scale-Space linking
A new method of image segmentation based on building up a hierarchical tree through non-linear scale-space is proposed. Non-linear scale space creates from the original image the whole family of blurred images but keeps sharp region boundaries. This characteristic of preserving edges turns out to be extremely useful in choosing a linking strategy through scale. Segmentation is realized in two s...
متن کاملMulti-scale Image Analysis of Satellite Data Using Perceptual Grouping
A meaningful image segmentation groups the pixels into disjoint regions that consist of uniform components. Facing absence of contextual knowledge, the only alternative which can enrich our knowledge concerning the significance of our segmented groups is the creation of a hierarchy guided by the knowledge which emerges from the superficial and deep image structure [1]. In the present work, we d...
متن کاملSegmentation of Natural Images Using Scale-Space Representation with Multi-Scale Edge Supervised Hierarchical Linking
Abstract— In general purpose computer vision systems, non-supervised image analysis is mandatory in order to achieve an automatic operation. In this paper a different approach to image segmentation for natural scenes is presented. Scale-Space representation is used to extract the structure from meaningful objects in the image. A hierarchical decomposition of the image is performed from the iso-...
