Segmentation Methods

The sonar image segmentation is needed such as in underwater object orientation and recognition, in collision prevention and navigation of underwater robots, in underwater investigation and rescue, in seafloor object seeking, in seafloor salvage, and in marine military affairs like torpedo detection. The wavelet-based methods have the ability of multiscale and multiresolution, and they are apt at edge detection and feature extraction of images. The applications of these methods to the sonar image segmentation are increasingly raised. The contents of the article are to classify the sonar image segmentation methods with wavelets and to describe main ideas, advantages, disadvantages, and conditions of use of every method. In the methods for sonar image region (or texture) segmentation, the thought of multiscale (or multiresolution) analysis of the wavelet transform is usually combined with other theories or methods such as the clustering algorithms, the Markov random field, co-occurrence matrix, Bayesian theory, and support vector machine. In the methods for sonar image edge detection, the space–frequency local characteristics of the wavelet transform are usually utilized. The wavelet packet-based and beyond wavelet-based methods can usually reach more precise segmentation. The article also gives 12 directions (or development trends predicted) of the sonar image segmentation methods with wavelets which should be researched deeply in the future. The aim of writing this review is to make the researchers engaged in sonar image segmentation learn about the research works in the field in a short time. Up to now, the similar reviews in this field have not been found.

Abstract Image segmentation methods can be classified broadly into two classes: intensity-based and geometry-based. Edge detection is the base of many geometry-based segmentation approaches. Scale space theory represents a systematic treatment of the issues of spatially uncorrelated noise with its main application being the detection of edges, using multiple resolution scales, which can be used for subsequent segmentation, classification or encoding. The present paper will give an overview of some recent applications of scale spaces into problems of microscopic image analysis. Particular overviews will be given to Gaussian and alpha-scale spaces. Some applications in the analysis of biomedical images will be presented. The implementation of filters will be demonstrated.

This paper proposes two edge detection methods for medical images by integrating the advantages of Gabor wavelet transform (GWT) and unsupervised clustering algorithms. The GWT is used to enhance the edge information in an image while suppressing noise. Following this, thek-means and Fuzzyc-means (FCM) clustering algorithms are used to convert a gray level image into a binary image. The proposed methods are tested using medical images obtained through Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) devices, and a phantom image. The results prove that the proposed methods are successful for edge detection, even in noisy cases.

Steerable Pyramid

at present, texture image recognition mostly is identified by using an intelligent algorithm which is based on the feature extraction method in a variety of ways, such as neural network recognization that is based on the wavelet transform or wavelet packet. Steerable pyramid transform is a multidirectional and multi-scale image representation. In this paper, texture recognition algorithm is based on steerable pyramid transform. This method extracts image features which are identified by support vector machine under different methods and resolution, and improves the accuracy of image recognition. Compared with the existing wavelet transform, wavelet packet, ridgelet in the case of noise, the methods' rate of correct identification is superior to other algorithms.

Health monitoring of a gear box has been attempted by the support vector machine (SVM) learning technique with the help of time-frequency (wavelet) vibration data. Multi-fault classification capability of the SVM is suitably demonstrated that is based on the selection of SVM parameters. Different optimization methods (i.e., the grid-search method (GSM), the genetic algorithm (GA) and the artificial bee colony algorithm (ABCA)) have been performed for optimizing the SVM parameters. Four fault conditions have been considered including the no defect case. Time domain vibration signals were obtained from the gearbox casing operated in a suitable speed range. The continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and wavelet packet transform (WPT) are extracted from time domain signals. A set of statistical features are extracted from the wavelet transform. The classification ability is noted and compared against predictions when purely time domain data is used, and it shows an excellent prediction performance.

Segmenting an image of a nucleus is one of the most essential tasks in a leukemia diagnostic system. Accurate and rapid segmentation methods help the physicians identify the diseases and provide better treatment at the appropriate time. Recently, hybrid clustering algorithms have started being widely used for image segmentation in medical image processing. In this article, a novel hybrid histogram-based soft covering rough k-means clustering (HSCRKM) algorithm for leukemia nucleus image segmentation is discussed. This algorithm combines the strengths of a soft covering rough set and rough k-means clustering. The histogram method was utilized to identify the number of clusters to avoid random initialization. Different types of features such as gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), color, and shape-based features were extracted from the segmented image of the nucleus. Machine learning prediction algorithms were applied to classify the cancerous and non-cancerous cells. The proposed strategy is compared with an existing clustering algorithm, and the efficiency is evaluated based on the prediction metrics. The experimental results show that the HSCRKM method efficiently segments the nucleus, and it is also inferred that logistic regression and neural network perform better than other prediction algorithms.

Image segmentation is one of the fundamental problems in image processing and computer vision. Studies of high quality image segmentation methods have always gained a lot of attention in the field of image processing. However，so far the problem of image segmentation has not been well solved yet. Conventional methods cannot divide the images exactly because too much objectivity has been used. For complex objects, this paper proposed an efficient image segmentation algorithm based wavelet transform. This article presents the result of wavelet image segmentation and watershed algorithm image segmentation. The experimental result indicates that, the algorithm based on wavelet transform has fast convergence and good noise immunity.

Intelligent data acquisition of vehicle number plate plays a significant role to recognize a vehicle and it automatic parking, traffic movement and scheduling, tracking of stolen vehicle, and many more. Although different methodologies of automatic number plate reading have developed alongwith their algorithms, still an efficient number plate recognition technique for better segmentation and recognition of the captured number plate using Morphological Dilation and Support Vector Machine (SVM) are expected to be helpful. In this paper, we present a modified method for recognition of contents of number plate using morphological dilation and SVM. We have compared our results with those from the existing models using Wavelet Transform and Artificial Neural Network techniques. Superiority of present methodology is established using parameters like image segmentation and recognition.
