Statistical Region Merging (SRM) is an efficient image segmentation algorithm for images with noise and partial occlusion. However, due to the complexity of remote sensing image, SRM can’t give satisfactory results. This paper proposes an improved image segmentation algorithm for remote sensing image based on SRM. Firstly, 8-connexity gradient estimation models are used to obtain more precisely edges. Secondly, the dissimilarity criterion between regions is replaced by a normalized distance standard. Finally, it dynamically updates and sorts dissimilarity between regions during region merging. Experimental results show the proposed algorithm can achieve better segmentation results from coarse to fine compared with original SRM.

Clustering based image segmentation in this study using Fuzzy C means algorithm with Xie Beni Index as an objective function. Preprocessing applied in this model using Statistical Region merging. Spatial function applied in Fuzzy C means method to reduce noise in clustering. The system evaluation is done by measuring cluster validity value (Xie Beni Index), execution time, and number of iteration. Experimental results on three test images illustrates the proposed method able to perform image segmentation well.

The image segmentation of histopathological tissue images has always been a challenge due to the overlapping of tissue color distributions, the complexity of extracellular texture and the large image size. In this paper, we introduce a new region-merging algorithm, namely, the Regional Pattern Merging (RPM) for interactive color image segmentation and annotation, by efficiently retrieving and applying the user’s prior knowledge of stroke-based interaction. Low-level color/texture features of each region are used to compose a regional pattern adapted to differentiating a foreground object from the background scene. This iterative region-merging is based on a modified Region Adjacency Graph (RAG) model built from initial segmented results of the mean shift to speed up the merging process. The foreground region of interest (ROI) is segmented by the reduction of the background region and discrimination of uncertain regions. We then compare our method against state-of-the-art interactive image segmentation algorithms in both natural images and histological images. Taking into account the homogeneity of both color and texture, the resulting semi-supervised classification and interactive segmentation capture histological structures more completely than other intensity or color-based methods. Experimental results show that the merging of the RAG model runs in a linear time according to the number of graph edges, which is essentially faster than both traditional graph-based and region-based methods.
