Color Image Segmentation Using Local Histogram and Self-Organization of Kohonen Feature Map
نویسندگان
چکیده
Segmentation is an important step for image analysis, but a good segment algorithm which can handle color image with texture area and has less computation time is rare. W e propose to use the local window image histogram, which is easy to compute and could quickly collect the information of neighbors, together with the Se2f-Organization of Kohonen Feature Map ( SOFM ) neural network, which can eficiently cluster data and has parallel hardware structure, as a segmentation kernel. Under the Euclidean distance function with input data normalization and the simplified Mahalanobis distance function, this algorithm will have very good Segmentation results for natural images either full with texture or mixed with smooth scenes.

Segmentation of color images using a two-stage self-organizing network
We propose a two-stage hierarchical arti®cial neural network for the segmentation of color images based on the Kohonen self-organizing map (SOM). The ®rst stage of the network employs a ®xed-size two-dimensional feature map that captures the dominant colors of an image in an unsupervised mode. The second stage combines a variable-sized one-dimensional feature map and color merging to control th...
متن کاملColor reduction using local features and a kohonen self-organized feature map neural network
This paper proposes a new method for reducing the number of colors in an image. The proposed approach uses both the image color components and local image characteristics to feed a Kohonen self-organized feature map (SOFM) neural network. After training, the neurons of the output competition layer define the proper color classes. The final image has the dominant image colors and its texture app...
متن کاملColor Reduction using the Combination of the Kohonen Self-Organized Feature Map and the Gustafson-Kessel Fuzzy Algorithm
The color reduction in digital images is an active research area in digital image processing. In many applications such as image segmentation, analysis, compression and transmission, it is preferable to have images with a limited number of colors. In this paper, a color clustering technique which is a combination of a Kohonen Self Organized Featured Map (KSOFM) and a fuzzy clustering algorithm ...
متن کاملColour image segmentation using the self-organizing map and adaptive resonance theory
We propose a new competitive-learning neural network model for colour image segmentation. The model, which is based on the adaptive resonance theory (ART) of Carpenter and Grossberg and on the self-organizing map (SOM) of Kohonen, overcomes the limitations of (i) the stability–plasticity trade-offs in neural architectures that employ ART; and (ii) the lack of on-line learning property in the SO...
متن کاملFuzzy Kohonen Clustering Network for Color Image Segmentation
In this study, a Fuzzy Kohonen Clustering Network (FKCN) algorithm is proposed for color image segmentation. We study the ability of FKCN in color image segmentation; we compare the segmentation between a different color images. Experiments show that the proposed method can segment an image and robust performance to noise.
