Abstract

Active contour methods are often used in image segmentation. These methods can be divided into edge-based and region-based methods. Both methods use generally raw image data to obtain objects boundaries. The proposed methods have some challenging problems such as the initial contour position, parameter dependency, noise sensitivity and irregular image intensities. In this paper, a new approach has been developed that provides automatic calculation of the α parameter of the original ACM with SBGFRLS method. This parameter is calculated automatically using the gaussian derivative filters of the input image. The calculated parameter is used iteratively in the level set function. The experimental results show that the improved ACM with SBGFRLS method provides higher segmentation accuracies.

Gauss Filtreleri Kullanılarak Geliştirilen Bölge Temelli Yeni Bir Aktif Kontur Yöntemi

Abstract

Aktif kontur yöntemleri görüntü bölütlemede sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Bu yöntemler kenar temelli ve bölge temelli yöntemler olarak ikiye ayrılabilir. Yöntemlerin her ikisi de nesne sınırlarını elde etmek için ham görüntü verisini kullanmaktadır. Önerilen yöntemler başlangıç kontur konumu, parametre bağımlılığı, gürültü duyarlılığı ve düzensiz görüntü yoğunlukları gibi bazı zorlu problemlere sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, orijinal ACM with SBGFRLS yönteminin α parametresinin otomatik olarak hesaplanmasını sağlayan yeni bir yaklaşım geliştirilmiştir. Bu parametre giriş görüntüsünün gauss türev filtreleri kullanılarak otomatik olarak hesaplanmıştır. Hesaplanan parametre düzey küme fonksiyonunda iteratif olarak kullanılmıştır. Deneysel sonuçlar, iyileştirilmiş ACM with SBGFRLS yönteminin daha yüksek bölütleme doğrulukları sağladığını göstermektedir.
