MRF model and FRAME model-based unsupervised image segmentation

This paper presents a method for unsupervised segmentation of images consisting of multiple textures. The images under study are modeled by a proposed hierarchical random field model, which has two layers. The first layer is modeled as a Markov Random Field (MRF) representing an unobservable region image and the second layer uses "Filters, Random and Maximum Entropy (Abb. FRAME)" model to represent multiple textures which cover each region. Compared with the traditional Hierarchical Markov Random Field (HMRF), the FRAME can use a bigger neighborhood system and model more complex patterns. The segmentation problem is formulated as Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) estimation according to the Bayesian rule. The iterated conditional modes (ICM) algorithm is carried out to find the solution of the MAP estimation. An algorithm based on the local entropy rate is proposed to simplify the estimation of the parameters of MRF. The parameters of FRAME are estimated by the ExpectationMaximum (EM) algorithm. Finally, an exp     

Three-dimensional model-based object recognition and segmentation in cluttered scenes

Viewpoint independent recognition of free-form objects and their segmentation in the presence of clutter and occlusions is a challenging task. We present a novel 3D model-based algorithm which performs this task automatically and efficiently. A 3D model of an object is automatically constructed offline from its multiple unordered range images (views). These views are converted into multidimensional table representations (which we refer to as tensors). Correspondences are automatically established between these views by simultaneously matching the tensors of a view with those of the remaining views using a hash table-based voting scheme. This results in a graph of relative transformations used to register the views before they are integrated into a seamless 3D model. These models and their tensor representations constitute the model library. During online recognition, a tensor from the scene is simultaneously matched with those in the library by casting votes. Similarity measures are calculated for the model tensors which receive the most votes. The model with the highest similarity is transformed to the scene and, if it aligns accurately with an object in the scene, that object is declared as recognized and is segmented. This process is repeated until the scene is completely segmented. Experiments were performed on real and synthetic data comprised of 55 models and 610 scenes and an overall recognition rate of 95 percent was achieved. Comparison with the spin images revealed that our algorithm is superior in terms of recognition rate and efficiency.     

Improving image retrieval by using spatial relations

In this paper we proposed the use of spatial relations as a way of improving annotation-based image retrieval. We analyzed different types of spatial relations and selected the most adequate ones for image retrieval. We developed an image comparison and retrieval method based on conceptual graphs, which incorporates spatial relations. Additionally, we proposed an alternative term-weighting scheme and explored the use of more than one sample image for retrieval using several late fusion techniques. Our methods were evaluated with a rich and complex image dataset, based on the 39 topics developed for the ImageCLEF 2008 photo retrieval task. Results show that: (i) incorporating spatial relations produces a significant increase in performance, (ii) the label weighting scheme we proposed obtains better results than other traditional schemes, and (iii) the combination of several sample images using late fusion produces an additional improvement in retrieval according to several metrics.     

Real-time model-based tracking combining spatial and temporal features

This paper describes a method for tracking moving image features by combining spatial and temporal edge information with model-based feature information. The algorithm updates the two-dimensional position of object features by correlating predicted model features with current image data. The results of the correlation process are used to compute an updated model. The algorithm makes use of a high temporal sampling rate with respect to spatial changes of the image features and operates in a real-time multi-processing environment. Preliminary results demonstrate successful tracking for image feature velocities between 1.1 and 4.5 pixels every image frame.

Leukocyte image segmentation by visual attention and extreme learning machine

This paper presents a fast and simple framework for leukocyte image segmentation by learning with extreme learning machine (ELM) and sampling via simulating visual system. In sampling stage, visual attention and the effect of microsaccades in fixation are simulated. The high gradient pixels in fixation regions are sampled to group training set. We designed an automatic sampling process for leukocyte image according to the staining knowledge of blood smears. In learning stage, ELM classifier is trained online to simulate visual neuron system and then extracts pixels of object from image. The ELM-based segmentation is fully automatic by the proposed framework, which could find efficient samples actively, train the classification model in real time and almost no parameter adjusted. Experimental results demonstrated the new method could extract entire leukocyte from complex scenes, has equivalent performance compared to the SVM-based method and exceeds the marker-controlled watershed algorithm.     

Fast gradual matching measure for image retrieval based on visual similarity and spatial relations

In this article, we propose a new method to retrieve images containing a request set of regions. The user is asked to specify a set of regions belonging to a single image. Then this request set of regions is compared to the sets of the regions of the images in the database. We propose a comparison measure that not only evaluates the similarity of regions one to the other, but that also takes into account the spatial configuration of the regions. The spatial structure of the regions is represented by means of fuzzy spatial relations, like horizontal and vertical disposal and connexity. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Robust object recognition using a color co-occurrence histogram and the spatial relations of image patches

We propose a robust object recognition system where patch-based pyramid images and the spatial relationships among patches are utilized for our image model. In particular, both a color histogram (CH) and a color co-occurrence histogram (CCH) are applied to obtain image features for each patch. The locations of subregions to be tested are decided by a particle filter in our matching process. We show that the performance of object recognition can be improved by using the spatial relationships among patches. To show the validity of our proposed method, we employ input images from various environments as test images. This work was presented in part at the 13th International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January 31–February 2, 2008     

Active contours driven by median global image fitting energy for SAR river image segmentation

The existing active contour models can not achieve accurate segmentation of SAR river images. To solve this difficulty, a novel active contour model driven by median global image fitting energy is proposed. First, the median global fitted image is defined. Then by minimizing the difference between the median global fitted image and the original image, the energy functional of the proposed model is obtained. Moreover, the within-cluster absolute differences of the pixel grayscale values inside and outside the curve are introduced to adaptively adjust the proportions of the region energies inside and outside the curve. Compared with the popular active contour models, extensive experimental results demonstrate the proposed model has clear advantages in terms of both segmentation performance and segmentation efficiency.     

Visual Analytics for model-based medical image segmentation: Opportunities and challenges

Segmentation of medical images is a prerequisite in clinical practice. Many segmentation algorithms use statistical shape models. Due to the lack of tools providing prior information on the data, standard models are frequently used. However, they do not necessarily describe the data in an optimal way. Model-based segmentation can be supported by Visual Analytics tools, which give the user a deeper insight into the correspondence between data and model result. Combining both approaches, better models for segmentation of organs in medical images are created.In this work, we identify the main tasks and problems in model-based image segmentation. As a proof of concept, we show that already small visual-interactive extensions can be very beneficial. Based on these results, we present research challenges for Visual Analytics in this area.

Recursive segmentation and recognition templates for image parsing

In this paper, we propose a Hierarchical Image Model (HIM) which parses images to perform segmentation and object recognition. The HIM represents the image recursively by segmentation and recognition templates at multiple levels of the hierarchy. This has advantages for representation, inference, and learning. First, the HIM has a coarse-to-fine representation which is capable of capturing long-range dependency and exploiting different levels of contextual information (similar to how natural language models represent sentence structure in terms of hierarchical representations such as verb and noun phrases). Second, the structure of the HIM allows us to design a rapid inference algorithm, based on dynamic programming, which yields the first polynomial time algorithm for image labeling. Third, we learn the HIM efficiently using machine learning methods from a labeled data set. We demonstrate that the HIM is comparable with the state-of-the-art methods by evaluation on the challenging public MSRC and PASCAL VOC 2007 image data sets.     

Adaptive active contour model driven by image data field for image segmentation with flexible initialization

In this paper, a novel adaptive active contour model based on image data field for image segmentation with robust and flexible initializations is proposed. We firstly construct a new external energy term deduced from the image data field that drives the level set function to move in the opposite direction along the boundaries of object and an adaptive length regularization term based on the image local entropy. The designed external energy and length regularization term are then incorporated into a variationlevel set framework with an additional penalizing energy term. Due to the adaptive sign–changing property of the external energy and the adaptive length regularization term, the proposed model can tackle images with clutter background and noise, the level set function can be initialized as any bounded functions (e.g., constant function), which implies the proposed model is robust to initialization of contours. Experimental results on both synthetic and real images from different modalities confirm the effectiveness and competivive performance of the proposed method compared with other representative models.
