PCNN model is particularly suitable for image segmentation and edge extraction, but its effect depends on the selection of parameters in PCNN model and network iteration settings, which needs for a large number of artificial interaction and has limited PCNN image processing practicality. In this paper, through combining statistical properties of images and PCNN model, we present an adaptive algorithm based on the distribution of pixels to replace the artificial interaction. Experimental results show that image segmentation using image enhancement and PCNN with adaptive parameters is significantly better than the traditional PCNN image segmentation and verify the effectiveness of the method.

Unified Approach

The aim of this paper is to outline a unified approach to feature extraction for segmentation purposes by means of the rank-order filtering of grey values in a neighbourhood of each pixel of a digitized image. In the first section an overview of rank-order filtering for image processing is given, and a fast histogram algorithm is proposed. Section 2 deals with the extraction of a “locally most representative grey value”, defined as the maximum of the local histogram density function. In Section 3 several textural features are described, which can be extracted from the local histogram by means of rank-order filtering, and their properties are discussed. Section 4 formulates some general requirements to be met by the process of image segmentation, and describes a method based upon the features introduced in the former sections. In the last section some experimental results applied to aerial views obtained with the segmentation method of Sect. 4 are reported. These test images have been analyzed within the scope of an investigation centered on terrain recognition for agricultural and ecological purposes.

Threshold segmentation method was widely applied in image process and the selection of threshold affected the final results of image segmentation to a large extent. In order to improve the accuracy and the calculation speed of image segmentation, an Otsu threshold segmentation method based on genetic algorithm was offered. According to the threshold and the gray scale values of pixels, the pixels were divided into two categories, and then the genetic algorithm was used to find the maximum variance between clusters and obtain the optimal threshold of segmentation image. The experimental results show that this method can be used to segment the image effectively, which make the basis for image processing and analysis in the next step.

In image processing, the texture image segmentation is one of the most important issues. Considering the problem that the traditional segmentation methods often fail to the low quality texture image segmentation, this paper proposes a modified OTSU thresholding segmentation method. Experimental results show that the proposed method not only is well adapt to the change of brightness and contrast, but also can be applied to much complex background.

This work presents a method based on the image content for digital halftoning using K-means clustering theory. Our algorithm applies to both a printer model and a model for the human visual system (HVS). The method strives to minimize the perceived error between the continuous original image and the halftone image. First, the gray image is partitioned into two, three and four regions using K-means image segmentation method, whose performance depends on the selection of distance metrics. Next, the statistics of average gray value of each clustering is calculated. Each clustering uses the least-squares model-based(Lsmb) algorithm to obtain halftone image. Finally, analysis and simulation results show that the proposed algorithm produces better gray-scale halftone image quality when we increase the number of clustering with a certain range. A performance measure for halftone images is used to evaluate our algorithm. The value of MSEv, WSNR and PSNR for two partitions is almost the same as that of the Lsmb algorithm, but for three and four partitions that the proposed algorithm achieves consistently better values of MSEv, WSNR and PSNR than the Lsmb algorithm.

A new welding seam image segmentation method based on pulse-coupled neural network (PCNN) is presented in this paper. The method segments image by utilizing PCNN’s specific feature that the fire of one neuron can capture firing of its adjacent neurons due to their spatial proximity and intensity similarity. The method can automatically confirm the best iteration times by comparing the maximum of variance ratio and get the best segmentation results. Experimental results show that the proposed method has good performance in both results and execution efficiency.

Image segmentation is a key step in image processing and image analysis and occupies an important position in image engineering.In this paper, basing on maximum variance between-class, an adaptive and multi-objective image segmentation method is proposed. The concrete implement is to determine adaptively the optimum number of threshold of image using the idea of variance decomposition,while calculating the weighted ratio of within class difference and class difference existing in each classification image. By comparing the ratio, the optimum number of target for image can be get. The experimental results show that the sub-images after segmentation are relatively clear and the differences between classes are obvious.
