Integrated region-based segmentation using color components and texture features with prior shape knowledge

Mehryar Emambakhsh, Hossein Ebrahimnezhad, Mohammad Hossein Sedaaghi (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Segmentation is the art of partitioning an image into different regions where each one has some degree of uniformity in its feature space. A number of methods have been proposed and blind segmentation is one of them. It uses intrinsic image features, such as pixel intensity, color components and texture. However, some virtues, like poor contrast, noise and occlusion, can weaken the procedure. To overcome them, prior knowledge of the object of interest has to be incorporated in a top-down...

K3M: a universal algorithm for image skeletonization and a review of thinning techniques

Khalid Saeed, Marek Tabędzki, Mariusz Rybnik, Marcin Adamski (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This paper aims at three aspects closely related to each other: first, it presents the state of the art in the area of thinning methodologies, by giving descriptions of general ideas of the most significant algorithms with a comparison between them. Secondly, it proposes a new thinning algorithm that presents interesting properties in terms of processing quality and algorithm clarity, enriched with examples. Thirdly, the work considers parallelization issues for intrinsically sequential...

Image based analysis of complex microstructures of engineering materials

Tomasz Wejrzanowski, Wojciech Leon Spychalski, Krzysztof Różniatowski, Krzysztof Jan Kurzydłowski (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The paper presents various methods for quantitative description of material structures. The main focus is on direct methods of description based on image analysis. In particular, techniques for the estimation of the size, shape and spatial distribution of structural elements observed by different microscopic techniques are described. The application of these methods for the characterization of the structures of engineering materials is demonstrated on a stainless steel used in petrochemical...

The structure-from-motion reconstruction pipeline – a survey with focus on short image sequences

Klaus Häming, Gabriele Peters (2010)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

The problem addressed in this paper is the reconstruction of an object in the form of a realistically textured 3D model from images taken with an uncalibrated camera. We especially focus on reconstructions from short image sequences. By means of a description of an easy to use system, which is able to accomplish this in a fast and reliable way, we give a survey of all steps of the reconstruction pipeline. For the purpose of developing a coherent reconstruction system it is necessary...

Parametric logarithmic type image processing for contrast based auto-focus in extreme lighting conditions

Corneliu Florea, Laura Florea (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

While most of state-of-the-art image processing techniques were built under the so-called classical linear image processing, an alternative that presents superior behavior for specific applications comes in the form of Logarithmic Type Image Processing (LTIP). This refers to mathematical models constructed for the representation and processing of gray tones images. In this paper we describe a general mathematical framework that allows extensions of these models by various means while...
