Abstract
Color image is formed of combination of three color channels. Therefore its architecture is very complicated and it requires complicated image Processing for effective image segmentation. In this paper. we propose architecture of universalized Color Morphological Pyramids(CMP) which is able to give effective image segmentation. Image Pyramid architecture is a successive Image sequence whose area ratio $2^{\int}({\int}=1,2,....,N)$ after filtering and subsampling of input image. In this technique, noise removed by sequential filtering and resolution is degraded by downsampling using CMP in various color spaces. After that, new level images are constructed that apply formula using distance of neighbor vectors in close level images and segments its image. The feasibility of proposed method is examined by comparing with the results obtained from the existing method.
