Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: An approach of color-texture image segmentation was proposed based on geodesic active contour model and multilayer graph cut model. As the clustering centers were commonly descripted with constant densities, the two phase Chan-vese model was extended to multiphase geodesic active contour model by using the Gaussian distribution to describe the changing density for each phase, and meanwhile the geodesic active contour was added into the proposed model, so that the presented approach could capture out the concave edge. For the minimization of the proposed energy function, a corresponded multilayer graph cut model was designed for resolving global approximated …

Breast Boundary Segmentation In Thermography Images Based On Random Walkers, Mehrdad Moghbel, Syamsiah Mashohor, Rozi Mahmud, M.Iqbal Bin Saripan, Suzana Abd Hamid, Suraini Mohamad Sani, Saiful Nizam

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Breast and areola boundary detection and segmentation present the biggest challenge in breast segmentation from thermography images, as breast boundaries, especially in the upper quadrants of the breast, are nonexistent. Many segmentation approaches have been proposed for breast segmentation, such as active contours and snakes, circular Hough transforms, and live wires, but these methods often fail to achieve satisfactory results. With recent advances in image processing techniques, new segmentation concepts are being developed, such as random walkers, which have received high interest from the medical imaging community. In this study, 91 images acquired utilizing a FLIR A320 thermal camera are …


An Adaptive Clustering Segmentation Algorithm Based On Fcm, Jun Yang, Yun-Sheng Ke, Mao-Zheng Wang Jan 2017

An Adaptive Clustering Segmentation Algorithm Based On Fcm, Jun Yang, Yun-Sheng Ke, Mao-Zheng Wang

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The cluster number and the initial clustering centers must be reasonably set before the analysis of clustering in most cases. Traditional clustering segmentation algorithms have many shortcomings, such as high reliance on the specially established initial clustering center, tendency to fall into the local maximum point, and poor performance with multithreshold values. To overcome these defects, an adaptive fuzzy C-means segmentation algorithm based on a histogram (AFCMH), which synthesizes both main peaks of the histogram and optimized Otsu criterion, is proposed. First, the main peaks of the histogram are chosen by operations like histogram smoothing, merging of adjacent peaks, and …
