현재까지 다양한 영상 분할 방법들이 계속해서 제안되어 오고 있으나 특정한 제약조건이 설정되지 않은 일반적인 자연 환경의 조건 하에서 촬영된 영상으로부터 조명, 음영, 그리고 하이라이트 등과 같은 주변의 환경 요인에 영향을 받지 않고 강건하게 영상을 분할하는 작업은 여전히 매우 어려운 작업으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 이런 문제를 일정 부분해결하기 위해서 칼라 불변량을 이용한 환경 적응적인 영상 분할 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법에서는 W, C, U, N, H와 같은 여러 가지 칼라 불변량을 소개하고, 조명이나 음영, 그리고 하이라이트와 같은 영상이 촬영되는 주변 환경의 요인들을 자동으로 검출한다. 그리고 검출된 환경 요인에 최적으로 적합한 칼라 불변량을 선택하여 에지를 기반으로 영상을 효과적으로 분할한다. 본 논문의 실험 결과에서는 제안한 방법이 기존의 방법에 비해서 주변의 환경 변화에 강건하게 에지를 기반으로 영상을 분할하는 것을 보여준다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방법은 주위 환경에 상당수 독립적으로 동작하므로 환경에 강건한 에지 기반의 영상 분할이 필요한 여러 응용 시스템에서 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

This paper proposes an improved image segmentation algorithm by the watershed algorithm based on the local adaptive threshold on local minima search and the fixing threshold on label allocation. The previous watershed algorithm generates the problem of over-segmentation. The over-segmentation makes the boundary in the inaccuracy region by occurring around the object. In order to solve those problems we quantize the input color image by the vector quantization, remove noise and find the gradient image. We sorted local minima applying the local adaptive threshold on local minima search of the input color image. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm controls over-segmentation and makes the fine boundary around segmented region applying the fixing threshold based on sorted local minima on label allocation.

In this paper, video image segmentation algorithm based on color histogram and change detector is proposed. Color histograms are calculated from both changed region which is detected in the previous and current frame and unchanged region. With each histogram, modes and valleys are detected. Then, color vectors are calculated by averaging pixels in modes. Markers are extracted by labeling color vectors that represent modes, the watershed algorithm is applied to determine uncertain region. In growing region, the root mean square(RMS) of the distance between average pixel in marker region and adjacent pixel is used as a measure. The proposed algorithm based on color histogram and change detector segments video image fastly and effectively. And simulation results show that the proposed method determines the exact boundary between background and foreground.

This paper investigates a method for dtermining a threshold value based on the probability distribution function for color image segmentation. Principal components of normalized color is nalyzed and found that there are effective color transforms for outdoor scents. We esplain the functional relationship of the treshold and the probability of a regiona detection, asuming bivarate Gaussian probability density function. Experimental results show that the probability of detection is proportional to the segmented area.

In this study, we introduce a new image gradient computation based on understanding of image generation. Most images consist of groups of pixels with similar color information because the images are generally obtained by taking a picture of the real world. The general gradient operator for an image compares only the neighboring pixels and cannot obtain information about a wide area, and there is a risk of falling into a local minimum problem. Therefore, it is necessary to attempt to introduce the gradient operator of the interval concept. We present a bow-tie gradient by color values of pixels on bow-tie region of a given pixel. To confirm the superiority of our study, we applied our bow-tie gradient to image segmentation algorithms for various images.

This paper proposes two measurement methods for injured rate of fish surface using color image segmentation method based on K-means clustering algorithm and Otsu's threshold algorithm. To do this task, the following steps are done. Firstly, an RGB color image of the fish is obtained by the CCD color camera and then converted from RGB to HSI. Secondly, the S channel is extracted from HSI color space. Thirdly, by applying the K-means clustering algorithm to the HSI color space and applying the Otsu's threshold algorithm to the S channel of HSI color space, the binary images are obtained. Fourthly, morphological processes such as dilation and erosion, etc. are applied to the binary image. Fifthly, to count the number of pixels, the connected-component labeling is adopted and the defined injured rate is gotten by calculating the pixels on the labeled images. Finally, to compare the performances of the proposed two measurement methods based on the K-means clustering algorithm and the Otsu's threshold algorithm, the edge detection of the final binary image after morphological processing is done and matched with the gray image of the original RGB image obtained by CCD camera. The results show that the detected edge of injured part by the K-means clustering algorithm is more close to real injured edge than that by the Otsu' threshold algorithm.

본 논문에서는 영역병합 방법을 이용한 칼라 영상 분할 방법을 제안하였다. 영상 분할 전단계에서 비선형 필터링 방법을 이용한 평활화와 채도 강화 및 명도 평균화를 수행하여, 영상 내 존재하는 비균질성을 줄이고, 칼라 히스토그램의 zero-crossing 정보를 이용한 비균일 양자화를 수행하여 유사한 칼라성분을 가지는 영역들을 분할하였다. 웨이브릿 변환의 고주파 대역 에너지를 이용하여 분할된 초기 영역의 윤곽성분 강도를 측정하였고, 이를 통해 병합 후 후보영역을 선정하였다. 영역병합을 위한 영역간 유사도 측정은 R, G, B 칼라성분의 유클리디안 거리를 측정하여 수행하였다. 제안된 방법은 기존의 방법에 비해 불규칙한 광원으로 불필요한 영역이 분할되는 것을 줄일 수 있었고, 이를 실험을 통해 입증하였다.

A variety of medical service applications in the field of the Internet of Things (IoT) are being studied. Segmentation is important to identify meaningful regions in images and is also required in 3D images. Previous methods have been based on gray value and shape. The Visible Korean dataset consists of serially sectioned high-resolution color images. Unlike computed tomography or magnetic resonance images, automatic segmentation of color images is difficult because detecting an object's boundaries in colored images is very difficult compared to grayscale images. Therefore, skilled anatomists usually segment color images manually or semi-automatically. We present an out-of-core 3D segmentation method for large-scale image datasets. Our method can segment significant regions in the coronal and sagittal planes, as well as the axial plane, to produce a 3D image. Our system verifies the result interactively with a multi-planar reconstruction view and a 3D view. Our system can be used to train unskilled anatomists and medical students. It is also possible for a skilled anatomist to segment an image remotely since it is difficult to transfer such large amounts of data.

The visual inspection method is widely used for corrosion damage analysis of steel plate due to the cost-efficient, fast and reasonably accurate results. However, visual inspection of corrosion deteriorated degree has a problem that the reliability of results differs depending on the inspector's individual knowledge and experience. In this study, we evaluated the degree of corrosion from a given image by using image segmentation method based on the grabcut and HSV(Hue, Saturation, Value) color image processing techniques for the development of an automatic inspection tool. The code written in Python based OpenCV-python libraries was used to categorize the images.
