Hybrid image segmentation within a computer vision hierarchy A generic model of a computer vision system is presented which highlights the critical role of image segmentation. A hybrid segmentation approach, utilising both edge-based and region-based techniques, is proposed for improved quality of segmentation. An image segmentation architecture is outlined and test results are presented and discussed.

Flood Monitoring

Flood disasters are considered annual disasters in Malaysia due to their consistent occurrence. They are among the most dangerous disasters in the country. Lack of data during flood events is the main constraint to improving flood monitoring systems. With the rapid development of information technology, flood monitoring systems using a computer vision approach have gained attention over the last decade. Computer vision requires an image segmentation technique to understand the content of the image and to facilitate analysis. Various segmentation algorithms have been developed to improve results. This paper presents a comparative study of image segmentation techniques used in extracting water information from digital images. The segmentation methods were evaluated visually and statistically. To evaluate the segmentation methods statistically, the dice similarity coefficient and the Jaccard index were calculated to measure the similarity between the segmentation results and the ground truth images. Based on the experimental results, the hybrid technique obtained the highest values among the three methods, yielding an average of 97.70% for the dice score and 95.51% for the Jaccard index. Therefore, we concluded that the hybrid technique is a promising segmentation method compared to the others in extracting water features from digital images.

Novel Algorithm

Image segmentation is a classical problem in the field of computer vision. Fuzzy [Formula: see text]-means algorithm (FCM) is often used in image segmentation. However, when there is noise in the image, it easily falls into the local optimum, which results in poor image boundary segmentation effect. A novel method is proposed to solve this problem. In the proposed method, first, the image is transformed into a neutrosophic image. In order to improve the ability of global search, a combined FCM based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed. Finally, the proposed algorithm is applied to the neutrosophic image segmentation. The results of experiments show that the novel algorithm can eliminate image noise more effectively than the FCM algorithm, and make the boundary of the segmentation area clearer.

Vision Application

Perception of content displayed on the screen of a computer display using computer vision is a challenging topic if the treated target is changed from physical world to digital world. Screen area from the given computer display image should be segmented and corrected primarily before perceiving the content displayed on the screen. An automatic approach is proposed to the segmentation and deformation correction of screen area for a computer display image. Due to some inherent characteristics existing on ordinary computer displays, the segmentation can be performed by contour tracing. After contouring the screen area, its four corner locations can be readily identified. By approximating the obtained corners to the closest normal screen region, the deformed screen image can be further restored with affine transformation. As a computer vision application on the "look at" screen image, the effectively segmented screen region can be fixed after a little time. The experiments demonstrate that about 70% cases can be fixed under 33 processed frames, others under 51 processed frames, and thus confirm the feasibility of the proposed approach.

Markov random field (MRF) is a widely used probabilistic model for expressing interaction of different events. One of the most successful applications is to solve image labeling problems in computer vision. This paper provides a survey of recent advances in this field. We give the background, basic concepts, and fundamental formulation of MRF. Two distinct kinds of discrete optimization methods, that is, belief propagation and graph cut, are discussed. We further focus on the solutions of two classical vision problems, that is, stereo and binary image segmentation using MRF model.
