A review on image segmentation techniques

International Journal of Computer and Applications

IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence

A necessary prerequisite for object oriented image processing is successful image segmentation. The approach presented in this paper aims for an universal high-quality solution applicable and adaptable to many problems and data types. As each image analysis problem deals with structures of a certain spatial scale, the average image objects size must be free adaptable to the scale of interest. This is achieved by a general segmentation algorithm based on homogeneity definitions in combination with local and global optimization techniques. A scale parameter is used to control the average image object size. Different homogeneity criteria for image objects based on spectral and/or spatial information are developed and compared.

Algorithms for image processing and computer vision

Hyperspectral image (HSI) classification is widely used for the analysis of remotely sensed images. Hyperspectral imagery includes varying bands of images. Convolutional neural network (CNN) is one of the most frequently used deep learning-based methods for visual data processing. The use of CNN for HSI classification is also visible in recent works. These approaches are mostly based on 2-D CNN. On the other hand, the HSI classification performance is highly dependent on both spatial and spectral information. Very few methods have used the 3-D-CNN because of increased computational complexity. This letter proposes a hybrid spectral CNN (HybridSN) for HSI classification. In general, the HybridSN is a spectral–spatial 3-D-CNN followed by spatial 2-D-CNN. The 3-D-CNN facilitates the joint spatial–spectral feature representation from a stack of spectral bands. The 2-D-CNN on top of the 3-D-CNN further learns more abstract-level spatial representation. Moreover, the use of hybrid CNNs reduces the complexity of the model compared to the use of 3-D-CNN alone. To test the performance of this hybrid approach, very rigorous HSI classification experiments are performed over Indian Pines, University of Pavia, and Salinas Scene remote sensing data sets. The results are compared with the state-of-the-art hand-crafted as well as end-to-end deep learning-based methods. A very satisfactory performance is obtained using the proposed HybridSN for HSI classification. The source code can be found at https://github.com/gokriznastic/HybridSN .

HybridSN: Exploring 3-D–2-D CNN Feature Hierarchy for Hyperspectral Image Classification

Fractal dimension is an interesting feature proposed to characterize roughness and self-similarity in a picture. This feature has been used in texture segmentation and classification, shape analysis and other problems. An efficient differential box-counting approach to estimate fractal dimension is proposed in this note. By comparison with four other methods, it has been shown that the authors, method is both efficient and accurate. Practical results on artificial and natural textured images are presented. >

An efficient differential box-counting approach to compute fractal dimension of image

This paper deals with the problem of recognizing and segmenting textures in images. For this purpose the authors employ a technique based on the fractal dimension (FD) and the multi-fractal concept. Six FD features are based on the original image, the above average/high gray level image, the below average/low gray level image, the horizontally smoothed image, the vertically smoothed image, and the multi-fractal dimension of order two. A modified box-counting approach is proposed to estimate the FD, in combination with feature smoothing in order to reduce spurious regions. To segment a scene into the desired number of classes, an unsupervised K-means like clustering approach is used. Mosaics of various natural textures from the Brodatz album as well as microphotographs of thin sections of natural rocks are considered, and the segmentation results to show the efficiency of the technique. Supervised techniques such as minimum-distance and k-nearest neighbor classification are also considered. The results are compared with other techniques. >
