Supervised image segmentation using Q-Shift Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform coefficients with a texton approach

In this study, we propose a simple and efficient texture-based algorithm for image segmentation. This method constitutes computing textons and bag of words (BOWs) learned by support vector machine (SVM) classifiers. Textons are composed of local magnitude coefficients that arise from the Q-Shift Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DT-CWT) combined with color components. In keeping with the needs of our research context, which addresses land cover mapping from remote images, we use a few small texture patches at the training stage, where other supervised methods usually train fully representative textures. We accounted for the scale and rotation invariance issue of the textons, and three different invariance transforms were evaluated on DT-CWT-based features. The largest contribution of this study is the comparison of three classification schemes in the segmentation algorithm. Specifically, we designed a new scheme that was especially competitive and that uses several classifiers, with each classifier adapted to a specific size of analysis window in texton quantification and trained on a reduced data set by random selection. This configuration allows quick SVM convergence and an easy parallelization of the SVM-bank while maintaining a high segmentation accuracy. We compare classification results with textons made using the well-known maximum response filters bank and speed up robust features features as references. We show that DT-CWT textons provide better distinguishing features in the entire set of configurations tested. Benchmarks of our different method configurations were made over two substantial textured mosaic sets, each composed of 100 grey or color mosaics made up of Brodatz or VisTex textures. Lastly, when applied to remote sensing images, our method yields good region segmentation compared to the ENVI commercial software, which demonstrates that the method could be used to generate land cover maps and is suitable for various purposes in image segmentation.     

Superpixel-based class-semantic texton occurrences for natural roadside vegetation segmentation

Vegetation segmentation from roadside data is a field that has received relatively little attention in present studies, but can be of great potentials in a wide range of real-world applications, such as road safety assessment and vegetation condition monitoring. In this paper, we present a novel approach that generates class-semantic color–texture textons and aggregates superpixel-based texton occurrences for vegetation segmentation in natural roadside images. Pixel-level class-semantic textons are learnt by generating two individual sets of bag-of-word visual dictionaries from color and filter bank texture features separately for each object class using manually cropped training data. For a testing image, it is first oversegmented into a set of homogeneous superpixels. The color and texture features of all pixels in each superpixel are extracted and further mapped to one of the learnt textons using the nearest distance metric, resulting in a color and a texture texton occurrence matrix. The color and texture texton occurrences are aggregated using a linear mixing method over each superpixel and the segmentation is finally achieved using a simple yet effective majority voting strategy. Evaluations on two datasets such as video data collected by the Department of Transport and Main Roads, Queensland, Australia, and a public roadside grass dataset show high accuracy of the proposed approach. We also demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach for vegetation segmentation in real-world scenarios.

Image retrieval experimental results have shown that our proposed method has the discrimination power of color, texture and shape features, the performances are better than that of GLCM and CCG.

Segmentation of psoriasis vulgaris images using multiresolution-based orthogonal subspace techniques.

In this paper, a method is proposed for the segmentation of color images using a multiresolution-based signature subspace classifier (MSSC) with application to psoriasis images. The essential techniques consist of feature extraction and image segmentation (classification) methods. In this approach, the fuzzy texture spectrum and the two-dimensional fuzzy color histogram in the hue-saturation space are first adopted as the feature vector to locate homogeneous regions in the image. Then these regions are used to compute the signature matrices for the orthogonal subspace classifier to obtain a more accurate segmentation. To reduce the computational requirement, the MSSC has been developed. In the experiments, the method is quantitatively evaluated by using a similarity function and compared with the well-known LS-SVM method. The results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively segment psoriasis images. The proposed approach can also be applied to general color texture segmentation applications.     

A universal texture segmentation and representation scheme based on ant colony optimization for iris image processing

This paper proposes a novel scheme for texture segmentation and representation based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). Texture segmentation and texture characteristic expression are two important areas in image pattern recognition. Nevertheless, until now, how to find an effective way for accomplishing these tasks is still a major challenge in practical applications such as iris image processing. We propose a framework for ACO based image processing methods. Considering the specific characteristics of various tasks, such a framework possesses the flexibility of only defining different criteria for ant behavior correspondingly. By defining different kinds of direction probability and movement difficulty for artificial ants, an ACO based image segmentation algorithm and a texture representation method are then presented for automatic iris image processing. Experimental results demonstrated that the ACO based image processing methods are competitive and quite promising, with excellent effectiveness and practicability especially for images with complex local texture situations.
