A four-stage system for blind colour image segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a new method to split colour images into regions. The only input information is the image to be segmented. Hence, this is a blind colour image segmentation method. It consists of four subsystems: preprocessing, cluster detection, cluster fusion and postprocessing. Proofs are given for the significant properties that we have found. It is not necessary to specify the number of regions in advance, which is a significant improvement over the standard competitive-style strategies. Finally, simulation results are given to demonstrate the performance of this method for some images.

Robust Potato Color Image Segmentation using Adaptive Fuzzy Inference System
Potato image segmentation is an important part of image-based potato defect detection. This paper presents a robust potato color image segmentation through a combination of a fuzzy rule based system, an image thresholding based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization and morphological operators. The proposed potato color image segmentation is robust against variation of background, distance and ...
متن کاملInteractions between colour and motion in image segmentation
BACKGROUND . An important early stage in visual processing is image segmentation, in which similar regions are grouped together and segregated from dissimilar regions, so that distinct objects ultimately may be located and recognized. In the natural world, objects are simultaneously characterized by colour, motion, texture and other visual attributes. How does the human visual system combine th...

Background: Brain tissue segmentation for delineation of 3D anatomical structures from magnetic resonance (MR) images can be used for neuro-degenerative disorders, characterizing morphological differences between subjects based on volumetric analysis of gray matter (GM), white matter (WM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but only if the obtained segmentation results are correct. Due to image arti...

We present an option for colour image segmentation applied to printing quality assessment in offset lithographic printing by measuring an average ink dot size in halftone pictures. The segmentation is accomplished in two stages through classification of image pixels. In the first stage, rough image segmentation is performed. The results of the first segmentation stage are then utilized to colle...
